I think we sort of agree, but have different lived experiences (no doubt because we're in different countries).

The crux, to me, is that healthcare isn't as patient centric as it should be, either because of "greedy" healthcare providers, families thinking more about themselves and not the patients, government/politics, combinations of all of the above, etc.

Most systems do, but some allow the end to be sped up more than others, either informally or formally.
