Only because you stubbornly refuse to acknowledge my many examples of present day inequalities.
You have yet to produce a single credible argument why a life prolonging technology wouldn’t benefit the ultra rich much greater and to the detriment of everyone else.
We know it is because there are no arguments - I just want to you to continue to imply it by your stumbling sputterings.

Because it's more profitable to sell it to everyone than a few select ultra rich.
Plus aging costs us trillions every year. Your non existent argument: "muh I saw a stupid movie!! I coped really well. I like to cope!"

Sorry bud, you already said this almost verbatim.
Try again, please.

You’re not tho.
I’ve given you several examples of healthcare inequalities if today.
You haven’t given a single example if why this technology would be different beyond that it would be cost-effective.
I’ll ask again. Why would this be universally provided when basic medicine and healthcare isn’t provided today?
Our current economical system isn’t cost-effective beyond the red line of a single corporation. Enormous resources are wasted because of this.
Come on now mate, you’re making us both look bad. You can do better. I am sure there is a point in there somewhere if you can only form it into a coherent thought.

None of these examples explain why only the ultra wealthy would get this.
It makes economic sense to fund and subsidize, just like vaccines.
