3. I currently can't afford the level of health insurance I need, therefore I choose to not

Go to the doctor as much as they'd like.
Take the tests and monthly blood work he'd like.
Take the hundreds of dollars of medicine I've been prescribed.

It's not exactly a choice if you don't have the cash to cover it.

I have a preexisting condition (several actually) and have been off of disability for about two years now. When you lose disability you also lose the Medicare that comes with it.

I guess I'm also "choosing" to not get a job that makes me six figures a year as well. I work when I can and so far it's been about the same as disability provided.

It takes a lot of balls to call what I do choosing.

Like you said, it's not choosing but losing!
