Life insurance companies should front the cost for longevity doctors 

Their incentives are sometimes better aligned with people (help them live longer!) than healthcare insurance companies

it is a fair criticism that this is not the bottleneck for society as a whole

i am thinking on a more atomic level - for a given person with a 20 year policy, even one with a known preexisting condition, does access to more information/testing/etc could move the outcome for a given person farther out and is this worth it for an insurance co if it becomes the difference between having to pay out for the policy or not

The biggest barriers to longevity imo aren’t access to practitioners but the time and money. Time to work out and to get enough sleep. Money to afford fresh fruit and live somewhere that doesn’t have environmental risks. Etc etc. Why I have revised my stance and become a lot more lenient on drugs. Our whole society is set up to ensure people stay unhealthy. We are unwilling to change that. Who would we be to deny the one bit of relief Or mitigation?
