Authors:
Cathy Schoen, Deirdre Downey, and Robin Osborn
Overview
According to the Commonwealth Fund 2002 International Health Policy Survey, nearly half of New Zealanders with health problems were dissatisfied with their health care system—the highest level of dissatisfaction in this survey of adults in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Yet, New Zealanders also gave their physicians the highest ratings in the five-nation survey and stand out for reporting few problems waiting to see their regular doctors.
