Can’t get travel insurance, any illness is clearly because they’re old and basically invisible.

I have an Aunt over 80 who is constantly traveling abroad with travel insurance, she went through a specialist insurer rather than one of the normal ones but it's not that expensive.

My grandad when to Gambia when he was 82 so you can definitely get travel insurance over 80!
Many illnesses are because they are old - there is nothing wrong with acknowledging the cause of it and understanding the cause of an illness helps with treating it and preventing it.
I agree that not all people treat the elderly with the respect they deserve but I don't agree that they are generally "invisible".
What is your actual point?
