The line graph illustrates how content citizens of four countries were with the health care systems during the time period of 1991-2007. Overall, the level of satisfaction of the citizens of the UK, the Netherlands and the US remained relatively stable throughout the presented time span. On the contrary, the level of contentment of Canadian citizens flactuated.
The citizens of Canada were the most satisfied with the health care systems in 1991, with the percentage of almost 60. The level of satisfaction, however, started to diminish rapidly and hit a low of 20% of satisfied citizens by 1998. But then, the number started to rise gradually and reached a point of 40% of contentment in 2007, which is 20% less than the initial proportion in 1991.
The Netherlands was the second most satisfied country in 1991, having 49% of people content with health care. Its level of satisfaction remained unchanged throughout the time period, becoming the most satisfied country in 2007 due to Canada’s fluctuation trend. The UK and the US had the same proportions, 23% and 10%, in 1991, respectively. The level of contentment among British people rose gradually to 29% by 2007, while the numbers in the US remained almost the same, with a negligible growth of 1%.
