On cost (which is under the Access category), Swiss seem to self-report having at least somewhat more problems even with the health insurance. For example: 22% of Swiss self-report having had a "cost-related access problem to health care in the past year" (UK 7%, US 33%), and 21% of Swiss report skipping dental care or check up in the past year because of cost (UK 11%, US 32%). Also, 46% of Swiss report having paid more than US$1000 for out-of-pocket medical expenses in the past year, which was the highest of any country in the study (UK 4%, US 36%).
