U.S. Health Care Satisfaction Trails Others
Americans Pay More but May Face Lower Quality in Many Areas of Care

WebMD Health News

Oct. 28, 2004 -- Americans are more dissatisfied than citizens of other nations with their basic health care even while paying more of their own money for treatment, a five-nation survey released Thursday notes.

The study shows that people in the U.S. face longer wait times to see doctors and have more trouble getting care on evenings or weekends than do people in other industrialized countries. At the same time, Americans were more likely to receive advice on disease prevention and self-care than others.

One-third of Americans told pollsters that the U.S. health care system should be completely rebuilt, far more than residents of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, or the U.K. Just 16% of Americans said that the U.S. health care system needs

only minor changes, the lowest number expressing approval among the countries surveyed.
