Abstract

Japan’s universal health care system provides many advantages for its users, including affordable health coverage with free and equal access to medical institutions. However, the Japanese population’s satisfaction with the health care system is among the lowest internationally. This paper investigates the extent and determinants of satisfaction toward Japan’s health care system and services, and compares the results with those of eleven other high-income countries.
