  • U.S. physicians identified affordability as the primary barrier to patient care access.
  • Canadian physicians most frequently cited service unavailability and long waiting times.
  • German physicians reported fewer access problems compared to Canadian physicians, with satisfaction levels closer to U.S. physicians.

Conclusions:

  • Healthcare system designs significantly influence physician-reported barriers to patient access.
  • The German healthcare system's structure may offer insights for U.S. health reform with potentially fewer trade-offs regarding access and satisfaction.
