A poll was done for the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and National Public Radio in 2016 on patients’ perspectives on health care provided in the United States a case study of seven states that is Wisconsin, Ohio, Texas, New Jersey, Oregon, Kansas and Florida. These states were not selected at random but were selected to fit multiple geographically located group of states. Only residents who reported that they received care during specified type of health care visits were covered and were requested to rate the quality of health care received during their most recent visits.
The results showed that adults were more positive about the health care received personally than they were on the states’ health care systems. The marginal error for respondents in the United States was ± 3.8 percentage points at 95% confidence level. Possible sources of non-sampling error included non-response to telephone calls. People relying on the results may get a wrong picture on United States’ state of health care since the responses are views of few citizens and not the entire United States’ population and could lead to wrong decision making by policy makers (Mohammed et al., 2016).
