Japanese people who have received medical care overseas have mixed views of other countries' health systems, according to an online straw poll conducted by The Japan Times.
The Feb. 7 to Feb. 9 poll drew responses from 66 Japanese whose experiences with foreign health care systems spanned 22 countries. They were asked to pick the one country whose health care left the strongest impression and compare its system with Japan's.
Of the 66 respondents, 21 mentioned experience getting medical care in the United States, seven in Australia, six in Canada, five in the United Kingdom and three each from Malaysia, France and Denmark.
