There is no compulsions to have insurance to travel to USA. Since medical facilities are costlier in USA, visitors to that country as a matter of precaution, sometimes take insurance cover to meet any eventuality. Legally, there is no compulsion.

You may not need to have insurance but it is highly recommended as medical treatment in the USA is very expensive.

Travel insurance is designed to provide you with compensation for anything that could go wrong while you are away. Usually, this means anything from having to cancel your trip to losing your suitcases. But the most important element is the medical expenses cover. If you don’t have cover and you are travelling to a country with high medical costs, or if you needed to be flown back in an emergency, the potential cost to you could be huge.

Probably not.
You would be completely negligent, ignorant and stupid not to have it though.
It's far better to have insurance and not need it, than to need it and not have it!
Not only does insurance give you peace of mind, but it allows for everything that you never planned for.
