A mostly worthless article except the "...monetary value of delayed aging is estimated to be around $7.1 trillion over 50 years.." sophistry.------- Why slowing the aging process could save the U.S. trillions

Given that this a totally bogus study, why not show an estimated savings of $14 trillion over 100 years?
$100 trillion over ..........?
Gimme a break!
Why slowing the aging process could save the U.S. trillions | The Rundown | PBS NewsHour:
"But a lower risk of disease is not the only possible benefit that would result from further delayed aging research; there may be potential economic benefits as well.
The study suggests that the monetary value of delayed aging is estimated to be around $7.1 trillion over 50 years — a number that’s certainly hard to ignore.
But the social return could be great.
More money spent on prevention would mean less money spent on treatments after the fact.
And, of course, it would mean a healthier, more productive population."
