The line graph illustrates the degree of satisfaction with the healthcare system in 4 different countries from 1991 to 2007.
Overall, while the proportion of the US and UK witnessed a slight increase, the opposite was true for the Netherlands. Notably, a significant sign of recovery was seen in D over the second half of the period. The Netherlands is a country with the most satisfying health care system most of the time, while the US ranked the lowest.
Regarding the two nations with the highest statistics, in the initial year, Canada had the highest satisfaction level, standing at 60%, relative to the nearly 50% of the Netherlands in the same year. While the figure for the Netherlands remained comparatively stable at approximately 50% in 1998, decreasing slightly by the end of the period, the data for Canada sharply dropped to 20% in 1998 before experiencing a twofold increase, reaching a high of 40% by the end.
In contrast, in 1991, the percentage of satisfied patients in the USA was 10%. This figure remained relatively stable, increasing to around 17% by 2007. Similarly, the satisfaction rate for the UK began at approximately 27% and showed little variation throughout the period.
