Get a travel insurance, considering the cost of the US system, it is
very wise to get the insurance for a few euros and avoid paying
thousands of dollars in medical costs in case something does happen.

Specifically: the generic free European insurance card (EHIC) does NOT
work in the US (or anywhere else outside Europe and a few other
countries). You must get a specific travel insurance to be covered.
