This is nice for you, but really meaningless. I took good care of myself and spent only one night in a hospital in 66 years, getting my tonsils out when I was 8. In 2011 I developed myasthenia gravis and spent five weeks in ICU and two months in inpatient rehab. It's completely unpredictable, not lifestyle related, no family history, and it cost $660,000. Don't let your insurance lapse.
