| Annotation | This paper reports the results of a comparative survey in five nations: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the United States. the survey finds a high level of citizen dissatisfaction with the health care systems in all five countries. Citizens with incomes below the national median were more likely than were those with higher incomes to be dissatisfied. In contrast, relatively few citizens reported problems getting needed health care. Low income US citizens reported more problems getting care than did their counterparts in the other four countries. Individual fact sheets on the five countries giving more details than in this article are available in the collection. (KJ). |
