The line graph compares the percentage of people who were satisfied with the healthcare system in four countries (Canada, the UK, the Netherlands, and the US) between 1991 and 2007.
Overall, the Netherlands had the highest level of satisfaction throughout the period, while the US consistently had the lowest. Canada showed a significant decline before partially recovering, whereas the UK experienced a steady rise.
In 1991, around 60% of Canadians expressed satisfaction with healthcare, the highest among the four countries. However, this figure dropped dramatically to about 20% in 1998, before increasing again to approximately 40% by 2007. In contrast, the UK started at around 23% in 1991 and steadily climbed to roughly 30% in 2007, overtaking Canada in 1998.
The Netherlands maintained a stable level of satisfaction, starting and ending the period at about 47-48%, with only minor fluctuations. On the other hand, the US consistently recorded the lowest percentages, beginning at about 10% in 1991 and rising slightly to 12% by 2007.
In summary, while satisfaction levels in the Netherlands remained stable and the UK showed gradual improvement, Canada experienced a notable decline followed by recovery. The US, however, had persistently low satisfaction throughout the years.
