>People are free to work 15-18 hours a week, but they don't.

I'm forced to work 40 hours per week no matter what I'm getting paid or I get fired, not sure how this is a 'choice'.

Exactly my point. You make the choice to engage at a job that doesn't allow flexibility. There's more than one job out there.

In most cases, the employer establishes the hours worked. Working fewer hours would have to be negotiated with the employer.

Not if you live in the US and want health insurance.

There's another supporting argument to my point.
