The setting of Elysium is a world where the entire Earth has become a barren and toxic slum while the superrich all live in a fancy space station that serves their every need. If technology in ''Elysium'' has improved to the point that space colonies are feasible, then maybe homes tall enough to reach the clouds also exist. While the ultra-wealthy live in space, the upper middle class, or the closest thing to it in this world, live in cloud cities to escape the pollution and [[UrbanSegregation the plebes]].

[[WMG: Delacourt was not only right, but also successful in the end]]
Throughout the film, she warns the people on Elysium about the dangerously resourceful people living in poverty on the Earth and is scorned for her violent defence of the station. But, as far as she's aware, any ship heading to Elysium without the proper flight plans and a code for authorised access may well be carrying a heavily armed and homicidal militia. The missile was overkill, but we only know that as the audience because we have a view of the refugees on board.
Sure, Elysium may very well be able to send far more health rejuvenating devices down to Earth for free universal health care to be available for all. It even seems to have been prepared to be sent, based on how quickly such a delivery is issued after Elysium is taken over, suggesting that all that Spider's program did was to be a nuisance by setting off an early launch, bypassing safety concerns and probably leading to a few avoidable accidents. It wouldn't have been Delacourt who was in charge of deciding whether or not to send them any way so, whether she would have or not, she's not at fault in any way for the lack of any of the health pods on Earth.
Also, based on the levels of technology in Elysium, it is extremely unlikely that Spider was able to reprogram it with any permanent changes. The more likely result is of a few more days of access to health pods for the people on Earth, then their retrieval, along with an arrest of the refugees (whether they are later pardoned, given their refugee status and the nature of Spider's coercion or not), and a reinstatement of the android security forces as and when Spider's reprogramming is cleared (which the android guards will allow to be done, as merely adding more to the registered population does not withdraw the access codes of legitimate authority).
As for Delacourt's fatal injury when she refuses help for her slot throat... Do you really think that merely bleeding out is sufficient cause for Elysium security chief to be killed on Elysium!? Again, given Elysium levels of technology and the medical, cybernetic technology in particular, it is no doubt automatic for Delacourt and her peers in the governing body of Elysium to be cloned by hidden medical pods with entirely new bodies and uploaded with scans of their own memories as of up to the last time they had the medical pod scan them (once a day, according to her own rules and regulations, I would think) triggered to occur as soon as a death is detected by Elysium's ubiquitous security scanners. She allowed herself to die as a return to life where she was is only going to leave her in the middle of the danger. Dying a relatively painless and quick death, on the other hand, will deliver her straight to a new body in the middle of secure offices elsewhere, missing the memory of the last 24 hours or so, but ready to immediately start dismantling Spider's bit of terrorist programming.

** ''Overuse'' of the sarcophagus is what drives people insane, so as long as the people of Earth only use it for life-threatening cases they should be fine. But it explains perfectly why so many people on Elysium - who use it to fix ''crow's feet'' - are cold-blooded sociopaths who don't care about Earthers dying of easily-treated leukemia or radiation poisoning. And given how familiar Kruger and his men are with the device - one even mentioned how pissed off Kruger was after having his legs re-attached a few years earlier - him being AxCrazy makes all kinds of sense, as does him going ''completely bugfuck nuts'' upon having his face regenerated.
*** It's implicit in the series that the psychological problems are a result of cumulative exposure--and the sarcophagus inheriently addictive. It's basically a malfunctioning AutoDoc that will eventually add free induced psychopathy.

Remember that whole medical chamber where people started being revived? What if those chambers were publicly available via humanitarian services? People stop dying, lifespans increase, the amount of children in the world doubles, even triples. Eventually, the overpopulation crisis is so insanely terrible that mass famine and poverty strike most of the first world, which leads to the world of LA we see in the film. Now you have gotten people in the 20th century still alive, even corporate execs, who now have access to near immortality.
