Healthcare System Ratings: U.S., Great Britain, Canada
by Rick Blizzard, D.B.A.
Healthcare Editor
The healthcare systems in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain
provide interesting comparisons to one another, especially since the U.S.
system is considered private and Canada and Great Britain each have national
health systems that supply universal coverage. National health systems are
theoretically designed to provide accessible, affordable care for all
segments of the population, but critics of such systems often question the
quality of that care. Conversely, critics of the U.S. system often point to
the fact that affordable, high-quality healthcare is not equally available
to all who need it.
How do Americans, Canadians, and Britons compare in their views of the
availability and quality of healthcare in their respective countries? In
surveys conducted in January* and February 2003**, Gallup asked residents of
these three nations identical questions regarding the availability of
affordable healthcare and the quality of medical care.
One-fourth of American respondents are either "very" or "somewhat" satisfied
with "the availability of affordable healthcare in the nation," (6% very
satisfied and 19% somewhat satisfied). This level of satisfaction is
significantly lower than in Canada, where 57% are satisfied with the
availability of affordable healthcare, including 16% who are very satisfied.
Roughly 4 in 10 Britons are satisfied (43%), but only 7% say they are very
satisfied (similar to the percentage very satisfied in the United States).
Looking at the other side of the coin, 44% of Americans are very
dissatisfied with the availability of affordable healthcare, and nearly
three-fourths (72%) are either somewhat or very dissatisfied. The 44% in the
United States who are very dissatisfied with healthcare availability is
significantly higher than corresponding figures in either Canada (17%) or
Great Britain (25%). |
