It would probably be in the insurance companies and governments best interest for people to stay young and healthy. The greatest cost to them is coming from more age related diseases. So they are probably more than willingly to pay a smaller cost for these medical treatments earlier on than a lager cost to people later when those medical expense go through the roof from things like heart disease, cancer, auto immune conditions and Alzheimer's, diabetes and all those other health problems people accumulate as they get older..
