US Lags in Several Areas of Health Care
Study Finds
Americans have a harder time than residents of several other countries getting after-hours appointments with a nurse or primary care physician without going to an emergency room, a study released yesterday found. Only forty percent of US primary care doctors said they had arrangements for after-hours care, compared with 47 percent in Canada and 87 percent in the United Kingdom.
