Terrible you were prosecuted. You did the right thing imo. I once talked with someone who had embezzled money to pay for his mil huge bill for cancer.

Edit to add * This is another tragic and painful example of not only that we need universal healthcare, but that healthcare costs are way too high and need to be controlled, not just pharmaceutical costs. My paternal uncle was a doctor in Canada for many years, and he was head of a hospital ward. He made a very good living but no one was ever overcharged or bankrupted because costs are controlled. He did not go into medicine to become a millionaire, but to help people. He was a great doctor and diagnostician which is the most important thing in medicine.

No one should ever have to be in the position you were in or be prosecuted for trying to save their own or someone else's life or for chronic care etc.. No one should be bankrupted or have to do what you and that other man did in desperation. It is the worst kind of exploitation to make huge un-needed profits off of people who are ill who have no choice.
