I see that there is a problem here, but the article seems unduly vague about what it actually is. Could someone explain? What I mean: This man wanted to go home. For some reason, he could not. Was it because he was physically prevented from going home? Was it because, if he went home, insurance and/or govt. assistance would be made unavailable, and so with the policies that were in place, he could not afford to go home? Or was it something else?
