Imagine there being treatments that will keep you alert and vigorous up to a hundred or more.

Now imagine that the cost of such treatment is such that only the very rich could afford it, that it would be completely unfeasible to deliver it to everyone even with government subsidies.

What would be the social reaction?

“Imagine there being treatments that will keep you alert and vigorous up to a hundred or more.”

If democrats have their way they will cut off life saving treatment at 65 and then put you on palliative care.

Well, that's a whole 'nother subject, but it's not uncommon for early adopters of breakthrough technology to pay through the nose to obtain it.
