More details to this question:
Is this high school? Is he legally allowed to ask and demand such a thing? I Dont have insurance and I pay out of pocket. Do I legally have to even provide proof of a personal doctor visit upon falling ill?

Your boss can't legally compel you to bring him a doctor's note proving that you were really sick on the days you missed work but, unless you have a contract which says otherwise, he/she can fire you if you refuse.
