Americans down on the U.S. health-care system
Dutch rate theirs most favorably of 10 industrialized nations

By Kristen Gerencher, MarketWatch

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- International comparisons of health-care systems can be tricky to tease out, but the Dutch appear most satisfied with their system and Americans the least satisfied, according to a new survey of 10 industrialized countries.

The Dutch system was most popular with its citizens while adults in the U.S. were itching for national reform the most, according to Harris Interactive, which cited three separate data sets.

A third of Americans said they believe the U.S. system "has so much wrong with it that we need to completely rebuild it," while only 9% in the Netherlands hold such a sentiment about their health-care system. Twelve percent of Spaniards favored a complete overhaul, compared with 15% in France, 17% in New Zealand, 18% in Australia and 20% in Italy.
