my experience in Shanghai hospital. It is a "money oriented" public services. Pay before being treated. Here is a procedure when you're have a cough and flu. And you visited the doctor.
1. Pay to register as visiting patient --- queue
2. Pay before you go for your blood test--- queue
3. Take your blood test --- wait for results
4. Pay before you see the doctor face-to-face --- queue to see doctor
5. See doctor
6. Pay to get your medication prescribed by doctor
7. Collect medication.

Why can't just simplify the process and make payment only ONCE? Can you imagine a person who are sick have to run up and down, left and right around the hospital to make payment and seek for treatment... gosh... it is so tiring... especially when you're sick.
