The line graph illustrates the percentage of people who were satisfied with their health care systems across four different countries between 1991 and 2007. Overall, while not every country exhibited a substantial change, Canada declined significantly before increasing towards the end of the period. Notably, the US consistently recorded the lowest figure over the period.
Regarding the Netherlands and the UK, the former stood at just under 50% in 1991. It finished the period as a country with the highest satisfaction levels with the health care system, at around 48% in 2007. The UK showed a somewhat similar trend, albeit to a lesser degree. It saw a modest increase to around 28% in the final year, up from just above 20% in 1991 – making it the third-highest figure in the chart.
As for Canada, the level of satisfaction with the health care system in this country topped the list initially, at almost 60%. However, it saw a pronounced decline to approximately 20% in 1998, a figure that then recovered, doubling to 40% by the end of the period. The US, on the other hand, bottomed the list. The figure for this nation grew minimally throughout the timeframe, rising from a mere 10% in 1991 to nearly 11% by 2007.
