(Article in Indonesian) Indonesian local government and healtchcare system paid for this sack of lard http://redaksikota.com/2016/09/14/pemda-sidoarjo-tanggung-biaya-pengobatan-yunita-maulida/ As some of you might or might not know, Indonesia is a relatively poor country compared to the western world. Indonesian TV loves to show people with weird physical sicknesses like "the tree man", people with cleft mouths, people with tumors etc as an alternative to politics. It kinda makes you feel better about your living conditions I guess. Recently this news came into my view: a 16 year old female kid was hospitalized. Her heart was clogged with so much fat she had difficulty breathing. She weighed a massive (for Indonesian standards) 115kgs. While In hospital she was objected to a diet and lo and behold she lost some weight!! She dropped to 110kgs.  All is well until I heard that the Sidoarjo municipal government and the BPJS (Indonesian Medicare) paid for her stay at the hospital. I personally know people who are rejected for this national medical insurance by hospitals, and read about other people who died for cases that are way more dangerous than this, because their insurance was denied. I'm afraid not even Indonesia is safe from Fat Colonialism.
