You're never going to get 90% voter turnout. Most elections have less than 50% turnout (depending on where you live/demographics). This idea that you need a majority of the population to agree in a democracy is nonsense. You're not going to get it. Otherwise the entire government as you know it is illegitimate (which can be argued in other terms too), because only a small sample of the population chose it.

you do not have the right to refuse anesthesia if you require life saving surgery

You do have the right to refuse anesthesia. It's your body, and you have a right to control what goes into it. That said, the doctor has every right to refuse surgery without it. So that's the consequence of refusal. It's not that we don't have a right to refuse; it's just a matter of opportunity cost.
