Universal healthcare is a thing. The US is possibly the only first world exception. I live in Norway, and pay a maximum of $250 a year on medical expenses. Everything else gets covered by the govt.

I'm aware. However, things like this feel like it would be considered beauty care which generally is not considered to be applicable for universal healthcare.

Age-related symptoms and diseases are the biggest burden on healthcare infrastructure. Anything that reduces said impact would definitely fall under healthcare.

Yes, but history this doesn't support that belief. Unfortunately

Not if you'll die. Age reversal will be a must for 80 yo people.

Given the history of medical research, we certainly owe Norway rats one.
