European Union (EU) patient mobility law creates destabilization rights: rights for citizens that would, if consistently applied, destabilize law, administration and finance for healthcare systems across the EU. This article focuses on the responses of the destabilized organizations and their efforts to restabilize their legal situation. We argue that it takes place through two decisions: a decision about whether or not to change procedures in response to the new right; and a decision about whether or not to lobby to circumscribe the new right. Our qualitative research in Germany and the UK found some differences in responses, but across the board the incumbent organizations and governments opted for very limited compliance and considerable  engagement in EU politics as their preferred strategy for responding to the new destabilization rights.

Hak destabilisasi dan politik restabilisasi: kebijakan dan reaksi politik terhadap Undang-undang Pelayanan Kesehatan Uni Eropa 
Undang-undang pemberdayaan pasien Uni Eropa (EU) ternyata menyebabkan munculnya hak destabilisasi. Hak destabilisasi adalah hak bagi masyarakat yang, bilamana dijalankan secara konsisten, yang mengganggu stabilitasi undang-undang/hukum, administrasi dan keuangan untuk sistem pelayanan kesehatan di seluruh wilayah Uni Eropa. Penelitian ini memfokuskan perhatian pada respon-respon organisasi yang mengalami destabilisasi dan usaha-usaha yang mereka tempuh guna mengembalikan stabilitas kedudukan hukum mereka. Peneliti berpendapat bahwa usaha pemulihan stabilitas dapat dilakukan berdasarkan dua jenis keputusan: keputusan tentang perlu atau tidaknya mengubah prosedur untuk merespon munculnya hak yang baru; dan keputusan tentang perlu atau tidaknya melakukan lobi untuk membatasi hak yang baru tersebut. Riset kualitatif yang peneliti lakukan di negara Jerman dan Inggris menghasilkan beberapa perbedaan respon, namun pada jajaran dewan organisasi dan pemerintah yang tengah memegang jabatan cenderung berprinsip pada ketentuan yang sangat terbatas dan keterlibatan secara mendalam di dalam politik Uni Eropa sebagai strategi yang mereka pilih untuk merespon munculnya hak destabilisasi.

Bureaucratic Issues in Indonesia

-
Reform experienced by Indonesia in 1998 has led to major change nationwide. The change took place as far as governmental administration process. Bureaucracy as part of the government’s job description, was also affected by the reform. The movement towards change required bureaucracy to be more neutral, transparent, responsive, and accountable, politically. Such demand has pushed the bureaucrats to create a new frame and characteristic building in answering their responsibility to fulfill the needs of people as their constituents. In practice, Indonesian bureaucracy truly needed more experience to anticipate this massive change. For example, there were still many handicaps in providing public services. This situation opposed to the previously idealized dream, a government as a good servant for the citizens. Many elements of the current government administration were reluctant to fulfill the people needs voluntarily. Bureaucracy, which initially aimed to simplify administration process,

Healthcare Waste in the United States Healthcare System

-
How America will pay for healthcare is a subject on the mind of virtually every American today. As Congress determines who will pick up the tab for this important and growing expense, it is worthwhile to take a close look at the cost of healthcare itself. Are there areas where expenses can be cut without undermining the quality of care provided? How prevalent are misuse, overuse, and fraud? This paper tackles the tangled issue of healthcare waste and arrives at some interesting, and perhaps even surprising, conclusions: America’s healthcare system is, indeed, hemorrhaging billions of dollars, and the opportunities to slow the fiscal bleeding are substantial. To organize the evidence supporting claims for the magnitude of waste in the healthcare system,we first suggest a set of categories of waste. For each category, there is a simple definition, a brief description of the examples, and references that allow us to make a reasonable assessment of total annual waste for each category. Ca

A study of drinking water quality of PDAM

-
One of problems faced by community dealing with water services provided by the State-owned Water Company (PDAM) is inadequacy of the services in fulfilling household needs. Customers often complain because this limited volume of water they can use for daily activities, such the research found in a service quality analysis of drinking water provided by PDAM. The study on service quality may have its cornerstones on three main aspects: the quality, quantity, and continuity.  In case of drinking water quality at the observed location, one should relate it to the quality threshold under the Letter of Decree of the Minister of Health Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, Kepmenkes RI, No.907/MENKES/SK/VII 2002, which has been applicable since July 28, 2002. In addition, there is also another technique of analysis to measure the water quality level by examining water debit, water pressure, and flow continuity. However, to deal with PDAM’s vision and mission, service quality analysis is lik
