So at 90 most people will have died by 95, and those that don't a significant proportion have severely life limiting health events, both mental and physical (strokes, heart attacks, falls etc)
What happens to 90 year olds in America that need a few weeks in ITU and a couple of months on a warn from a stroke when they can't pay?
Sure most will have died but the majority will make it to 94.
Most 95 year olds also don’t have dementia.
My point isn’t that getting old doesn’t suck. It’s that you have a good chance of having several years of good quality of life at 90.

America has socialized healthcare for people over 65, so the government pays for it.
