This idiot admits to neglecting his diabetes and his health in general and should be held responsible. Young, healthy, non-smoking, diet conscience, fit individuals just starting off their professional careers in no way should be subsidizing him. For Christ sake he's going blind with a $300K house and still has the audacity to complain with a pack of smokes in his breast pocket. He should pay, no one else!
