Orphan crushing machine operator: "If I don't do it, someone else will"
Orphan crushing proponent: "Why should I pay for orphans not to be crushed??"
There's money to be made on arbitration of orphan crushing! If I don't do it someone else will.

there is no trolley
This framing is disingenuous. We're meant to say "tear down the orphan-crushing machine!" But in this case there's no machine, only human mortality. You're substituting a simple question ("why are we crushing orphans?") for a complex one ("who should pay for poor children's healthcare?")
Also, the scale seems much larger than $20k.
