Healing people at will probably wouldn't be too much of a burden, even assuming that you have to, say, touch the person instead of just snapping your fingers and instantly healing everyone the world over. You'd probably establish a triage system: limit your ability to helping people with otherwise incurable, fatal diseases, and tell everyone else to go to the doctor. Also, send people whose needs are their own fault (heavy smokers, drinkers, daredevils) to the end of the line.

For my choice of powers, indestructability sounds good.
