People who are in an insider position at a publicly traded company are generally getting compensated well enough that they do not need any more. They may want more but most folks get by with much less.

In the US, all it takes is a run in with the legal system or emergency medical bills, and virtually anyone could find themselves in dire financial straights.

Most of the time these stories are reported, there is no indication that the motivation is paying back medical debts. Actually I've never seen it. It's normally gambling or drugs. I agree an insider with medical debt is a theoretical problem, but it doesn't seem to be an actually common occurrence.
