  Why would you imagine it this way? All the work that's been done on longevity has been relatively cheap clinically.

In many places programs of universal health care would be very happy to cover treatment that would make you young and healthy again. I can't imagine a better ROI for reducing health care costs (ie: eliminating the burdens of aging of populations on "the system"). In other words, those without means will also be perfectly fine, because outside of the US, it benefits society to keep them healthy.
