stupac, you did well, and you made good decisions.

However--

Mick is allowed to feel bad for his friend even if his friend's situation might be self-inflicted.  And we are allowed to feel bad for Mick for carrying the emotional burden of seeing a friend in deep financial distress.  There may be very good reasons why Mick's friend is in debt, and healthcare may figure prominently in several of those reasons.  I don't think anyone here should try to win the Suffering Olympics.
