What more choice do you want? You have a policy laid out in black and white, you can sign it or say "Thanx but I'll pass". When I signed a lease, I could choose to find an apartment that allowed dogs, allowed certain weight of dogs or allowed no dogs. It was my choice to go to whatever building I wanted. Hell, you are not even chained to the city, state or country. You can go wherever you please.
As long as people are going to ask the govt to take care of them as a safety net, they are going to lose some rights. You want to have Mom & Dad as your safety net, you are going to have to live on their terms. That is why I prefer to say "Dear Govt, please do me a favor and DON'T do me any favors". People want the benefits much like people want the freedom to order the most expensive dishes at the top flight restaurants but they balk when the bill comes.
