I clipped this from a NYT story a few years ago
On a recent Saturday night, while sitting outside a bar with a friend, a man with just a few teeth started a conversation with me. The first thing he uttered was an apology for his lacking dental work. Like so many other Americans, he couldn't afford to get them fixed. The conversation took an unexpected turn when he went on to rail against universal health care. He didn't want to pay for other people to get help. He didn't have health insurance and told me he once duct-taped a cut on his arm because he couldn't afford stitches. "I'd rather take care of my own self with tape than be stuck in a system where I pay for everyone else," he said. He didn't want to be helped because that meant he might have to help other people he didn't think of as deserving."
