Jane was Elizabeth's confidant and the oldest of the Bennet daughters. Jane helps to keep her sister's tendency to be judgmental in check by offering positive interpretations of negative situations as Jane herself see only the best in people. They turn to each other for relief and protection from the obsessive ramblings of their silly mother. Elizabeth saw in her sister a kind of antidote to her own tendencies toward critical judgement and cynicism. She respected Jane’s pervasive good-will, precisely because it wasn’t an affectation on Jane’s part. Elizabeth sometimes teases her gently, but loves her for it all the more.

No, Mr.Bennet was not concerned about Jane's health. This is quite evident when he was quoted saying, "if your daughter should have a dangerous fit of illness, if she should die, it would be a comfort to know that it was all in pursuit of Mr. Bingley, and under your orders.''
 
When Jane was invited for dinner by Caroline Bingley, Mrs. Bennet compelled her to ride on horseback instead of taking a carriage.  Jane had not been gone long before it rained hard and she fell sick. On receiving a note from Jane informing about her illness, Elizabeth sets about to visit her. When she arrives at the Bingley residence, Jane is in a mess and is not at all in condition to talk to anyone.
