My cousin was a ER doctor. Last year, after one shift, he had some abdominal pain. One colleague offered to perform an echography and bam, there it was: renal cells cancer, with a size comparable to the kidney itself. Further tests revealed that it was already metastasized, and five months later he left us. He was 53 years old, he knew everything that was going to happen to him, and happen it did. It was not a matter of insurance or receiving more or less care, his fate was written since that damning echography. This reads like a horror story but that's the crudeness of life and death for us. Only thing to do is medical checkups from time to time and try to live a plenty life because you may not be there after the next corner.
