A family member of yours is in the hospital with terminal cancer. This family member wants to come home to spend his last days. To be blunt, he wants to die at home, not at the hospital.
Meanwhile, because the cancer is terminal and nearing the last stages, the hospital wants to stop dialysis treatments and medicate for the pain. In fact, they tell you they will no longer provide the treatments because it is too expensive. But, they won't release him because he needs dialysis treatments.
Catch-22.
You work it out and your family member is now at home. He does a few treatments and finally passes one morning with family around him praying for him.
Now change one word in the second paragraph. Substitute government for hospital.

Does it make a difference?
