You don't choose anything (apart from some semblance of choice through voting). Stop using voluntary language for something that is compulsory. This isn't an argument against gov, but your reasoning about choice is after the fact.

We do choose. We vote in a government that provides services for those people.

Do you think that if there were a society of people where a majority were callous enough to deny those extremely disabled their medical care, that they wouldn't just vote out the bums who gave them that care, and the new generation of politicians wouldn't then rewrite the laws?
