Then how would the 200k job magically make things better? The kind of medical bills you're talking about aren't payable unless you're a 1%er. You're screwed either way. And I say that as someone who also has chronic insomnia.
100k is slightly more than what I'd need right now to stop worrying. Had I got that several years ago, chances are I wouldn't even get this sick in the first place, meaning that would likely be several times extra 100k... and it clearly didn't stop others from taking the high pay road, so being more ethical only screwed me, didn't even prevent others from getting screwed.
