NO you are NOT covered. You must have heath insurance.
As the first answer said - If you have an emergency, and you walk into the emergency room, they legally cannot turn you away - but they CAN bill you, and it may cost several thousand dollars.

You need coverage that is valid in the United States. Don't think England would be sending payment here for your care here. You would have to get a health insurance policy here.

If you have an emergency, and you walk into the emergency room, they legally cannot turn you away. Other than that, I would suggest getting some insurance.

Depends. If you are coming here to work, you will be covered http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/articles/article.aspx?articleId=1087 If not, and you are here on holiday you need insurance. http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/articles/article.aspx?articleId=1086

Good luck getting health coverage in this country, buddy. We don't even get it.
