Health Care Policy and Opinion in the United States and Canada (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Health Care Policy and Opinion in the United States and Canada examines perceptions about health care in the U.S. and Canada and their effects using an extensive cross-national survey made up of two public opinion polls of over 3,500 respondents from both countries. The authors present how perceptions on health care indicate elements of convergence or divergence between the views of Canadians and Americans, and discuss how these citizen opinions should inform health care policy change in both countries in the near future.
