Die early because you can't afford your meds in old age? Sell off all your assets to go Medicaid end of life leaving nothing for your children? Get exploited by an economic system designed to empty your pockets no matter how hard you've worked all your life? Have the risk of retirement savings put entirely on you (401K instead of the old defined benefit), other than the pittance you get from Social Security? In the wealthiest nation the planet has ever seen? That's all you get? Pathetic, really.

So again, freedom to do what?
