The different programs work pretty good when they work, it actually works too good.

Problem from the hospitals viewpoint is they are making far less cash on those patients then the ones paying (either by themselves or who are insured) so which patients do u think they want more of?

And which patients do you think get assigned most doctors?

The same doctor that gets 10 private guests maybe gets 30 program guests at the same amount of time meaning the last 5 have to come back the other day.

There is a reason why there is a huge market for health insurances in Thailand.

That said the programs work pretty good unless you have some kind of emergency and really really need to get treatment quick.
