Eventually. For some reason, people aren't all in favor of giving everybody universal health care. If we did, then yes, everybody would eventually have all of the advances in medical technology.
If you thought about it for 2 seconds more, you would realize that it will take up much longer to truly expand to even Solar system - I mean offloading billions, not some tiny colony.
Meaning that almost immortal general population would be doom long term and thus has to be managed. Either by bans, which might be circumvented in more favorable jurisdictions (ie orbits or moon), or by setting the price too high.
You would think management via price is impossible? Look how one of the first gene therapy single-pill 'cure' for spinal muscular atrophy Zolgensma is priced - 2 mil USD. Small cute kids are dying in pretty horrible ways because of this price all over the world.
When saving babies lives is (also) about money, why aging wouldn't be?

No, they are dying because other companies have not found ways yet to duplicate that. In the end, it's all just information - recipes if you will. Nothing magic. When most drugs just become gene therapy, I'd suspect it will be a matter of days until they are copied and released for all - like movies high quality rips.
Only one thing is needed: a marketplace, so companies can compete on price for the customers who leave feedback to select the best providers.
This won't happen here, because of the FDA, regulations etc. But I don't see why a country with more appetite for risk (and thus money) will not become a hub for medical tourism, 1 flight away, with drugs and treatments cheap thanks to competition, and readily available thanks to the lack of regulations.
