Don't know where you're from, but for us European Union members, travelling outside Europe usually requires an additional health insurance if you don't want to pay for emergency health care. Which is quite a lot. To give you some numbers, a friend of mine travelled the US last year, collapsed and was treated in a hospital for one week. He got a heart pacemaker. Overall costs: 40,000 EUR (USD 50,000). Yesterday, I bought my additional health insurance for DC10. It's 0,50 EUR per day or 9,50 EUR for a full year. (to other Germans: offered by Sparkasse) You clearly want to talk to your health insurance if they cover treatment in the US or if you need to explicitly sign up for this.
