I like the idea.

Sounds like "From each, according to his abilities. To each, according to his needs."

People under 65 stop buying the inflated vitamins in favor of more economically priced alternatives, leaving you with the choice of raising prices on additional goods in order to finance the new vitamin-subsidy/entitlement to the seniors.

...People under 65 stop buying the inflated vitamins in favor of more economically priced alternatives...

Then we will have to outlaw that so that seniors may be served. Or maybe young people ask a senior to buy for them. Hmmm... that will need to be outlawed also. So many laws to write and so little time, oh the humanity...
