When anything is "free", people will want more of it. Doctors will give away more of it and seniors will either stockpile it or sell it to non-seniors for pure profit and greed. This will help keep the fraud and greed to a minimum. There is also a thing called "over medicated". Just because a doctor gives you a drug does not mean it will help you. Some actually do more harm when there are interactions with other drugs you are on. Too much of a good thing can kill you. Seniors are also the wealthiest segment of the population. It should be means tested. Let's also not forget, IT'S VOLUNTARY.

And up until now, research into anti-aging drugs has been constrained by economic reality.

If you thought you could slow aging by five years with an IV infusion once a week that cost $50 000 to produce, you would not start the research-because there would be no market at that price.

Now that it's "free"-the sky's the limit.
