Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Shanghai?

"Healthcare and health insurance in Shanghai can be expensive. The cost of medical care in Shanghai is generally higher than in other parts of China, due to the city's higher cost of living. Private health insurance plans are available, but they can be costly and may not cover all medical expenses. Public health insurance is available, but it is limited in scope and may not cover all medical expenses. Additionally, many medical facilities in Shanghai may require payment upfront before providing services," explained one expat living in Shanghai, China.
