1. Why being insured to go to the USA ?

Healthcare Costs : The United States does not have a universal healthcare system, and medical expenses can be extremely high. If you require medical treatment or emergency care during your visit, having travel insurance can help cover these costs, including hospital stays, doctor's visits, and medication.

Unexpected Events : Travel insurance can provide coverage for unexpected events such as trip cancellations, interruptions, or delays due to reasons like flight cancellations, natural disasters, or personal emergencies. It can also offer reimbursement for non-refundable expenses like hotel bookings or tour reservations.

Emergency Assistance : Travel insurance typically includes 24/7 emergency assistance services, which can be invaluable in unfamiliar surroundings. This may include access to a helpline for medical advice, assistance with locating medical facilities, or arranging emergency medical evacuation if needed.

Lost or Stolen Belongings : Travel insurance can offer coverage for lost, stolen, or damaged belongings, such as luggage, personal items, or travel documents. This can help alleviate the financial burden of replacing essential items during your trip.

Peace of Mind : Having travel insurance provides peace of mind knowing that you are protected financially against unforeseen circumstances. It allows you to relax and enjoy your holiday without worrying about the potential financial implications of unexpected events.
