With critical insurance policy, live a worry-free life

Life expectancy of Indians is increasing. A study published in the British Medical Journal 'The Lancet' revealed that the Life Expectancy (LE) at birth of an average Indian male increased by 15 years between 1970 and 2010 and the same for a woman increased by 18 years. The report pegged the life span of an average Indian male to be 63 years while that of a woman is 67.5 years. 
While all this is nice to hear, what does it really mean for the average Indian? Simply this, that we now live a longer, fuller life. If you read between the lines, a longer life also means higher chances and incidence of ailments and diseases, given old age; which in turn translates to higher medical costs and expenses
