I can sit here and objectively "know" that $200,000 buys more happiness and "good" if it is used to buy basic meals, vaccinations, textbooks, or other items rather than surgery and supportive care for an 80 YO cancer patient. But if that cancer patient is a loved one and this is the (very miniscule) chance to get another few years of life, and the family isn't ready to let go, and the money is "someone else's" then the situation is different.
How about a 60 year old cancer patient? Equally as worthless to society as an 80 year old.
