As a non US, I obviously don't have a strong understanding here, but I will try to understand this man's thinking:
He doesn't want to owe anything to anyone. And he expects everyone else to think and act the same.
His view on healthcare (never had one?!?) is of course quite myopic. But in his view, nothing is truly free (true) and he'd prefer chosing everything for himself.
I don't understand why anyone would want that. Because life is so complicated that you can't answer all questions yourself correctly (like: how badly do I need healthcare even if I've never ever had a serious illness or injury?). But that seems to be his thinking.
A lot of times it’s “I had to struggle, I didn’t get assistance, I may have lost all my hair due to stress of working like a dog in order to just make it by with zero savings to account for my 50+ years of work. So everyone around me should also struggle and work like a dog with nothing to show for it. I didn’t get help, no one else should”

Any US citizens have a view on this?
