The line graph shows the degree of contentment with the healthcare system in four countries (Canada, UK, Netherlands, and the US) from 1991 to 2007.
Overall, there was little variation in the level of satisfaction in each country, except for Canada, which experienced a significant dip and lost its top position to the Netherlands as the country with the most satisfying healthcare system.
In the initial years, Canada had the highest level of satisfaction, starting at 55%. However, this figure sharply plummeted to approximately 20% in 1998. Subsequently, there was a slight improvement, with the percentage rising to 40%, but still lower than the initial level.
On the other hand, the other three countries (UK, Netherlands, and the US) showed relatively stable trends throughout the period. The satisfaction levels in the UK and the Netherlands remained almost flat over the years, with the Netherlands consistently having a higher satistaction rate of nearly 50%, surpassing Canada in 1993. The US, however, started at only 10% and maintained a slightly higher but still low rate throughout the 17 years.
Estimated score: 7.5 - 8.0
