The United States of America is the wealthiest nation on the earth, and should be able to provide national healthcare. But, an estimated 46 million lack insurance coverage. There have been several discussions and proposals about the United States of America adopting a form of universal healthcare coverage. The purpose of this study was to determine the perception of people in Britain and Canada who currently use nationalized healthcare systems. A survey was conducted with respondents from both Britain and Canada. The study in Canada indicated that 78% liked the system, 11% disliked it and 11% was mixed. In Britain, 45% like their healthcare system while 45% disliked it; 10% was mixed. Most of the respondents liked the fact that they had access to healthcare, but felt certain aspects needed to be changed or improved. The most consistent complaints, in both systems, were related to long wait times before being able to see a doctor and receive treatment.
