The disgusting thing is that these brothers have paid colossal amounts of money in income and Medicare taxes, which have been spent on providing unnecessary medical care, disability payments, housing subsidies, etc. to diabetics who flat-out refuse to exercise any self-control. The New York Times ran a huge series on this a couple of weeks ago. NYC's poor neighborhoods are full of people who simply refuse to test their blood sugar or use insulin, much less control their eating. One woman's daughter explained why: "She doesn't like needles."
