The poor are not getting any longevity treatments. The rich will no longer find them necessary. They are considered useless eaters right now by the elite. The best you can hope for is blind neglect.

Maybe in USA it will be like this but elsewhere public healthcare incentivises providing them to the public as they'll mitigate age related diseases. Also if you promise them to people it's easy win as a politician and it's also easy to verify by people if you fullfill this promise.

At the very least, Medicare provides coverage to people 65 and older in the U.S. so I think that will help make these medical therapies more broadly available.
