At this point I'd rather die in my house. So much of it is obviously crap and it's so inconvenient and expensive I'd rather avoid doctors altogether.

If you’re on hospice, you can die at home while still making use of the US medical system.

Hospice’s amount of involvement is largely up to you. Also hospice doesn’t only help you, but also your family. That said, it is of course your own choice. I would personally want as as little involvement as possible from people outside the family.
