Not afterlife. It's just another medical treatment. And not one that much different from the current system world wide. If you have money/power you get better access to healthcare.

Sure, basically-everywhere-but-the-US has socialized medicine, but still everywhere if Jeff Bezos got sick he could go "I'll buy this hospital end every doctor in it. Do your best to cure me".

Freezing isn't magic. Just think of it as a better CPR. You wouldn't say this woman got "afterlife", even though apparently her blood wasn't pumping for 40 minutes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_B%C3%A5genholm
