WiseOwl182,

I think you place too much faith in "Market Forces".  Maybe I'm pessimistic. I can't see a benevolent future society doling out the longevity to all and sundry.

If you are old, frail and alone you are more likely to get the LCP.

The richest section of society wouldn't take long to become a saturated market. Prices would then gradually fall to increase the market size.

Yes, just look at the market for luxury yachts.  (Facetious to be fair.  If the treatments were actually cheap to produce once R&D was complete then the price would fall, if the treatments were actually expensive in materials, like yachts, then the price would not fall).
