I need travel/medical insurance for America, but the policies I've found so far seem to have really poor cover. Can anybody suggest a place to look?

It's the medical cover that seems quite low. I know in the UK they suggest not going to America with less than £1,000,000 medical cover, but the highest I can see here is €600,000. In France you couldn't get cover that high but your social security would partially cover medical expenses anyway, so the high cover wasn't as essential. I'm assuming Malta doesn't do the same, so we'll need a higher cover? Is €600,000 the highest I'm likely to get?

This company offers various plans that seem to go up to 1 million USD.

A few of my digital nomad friends swear by this one:

I just put in some details for America and it looks like they definitely go higher than €600.000

Thanks!

We looked at Staysure a couple of years ago and they didn't get good reviews back then, but I'll check the other two. We've only checked the Insurance companies based in Malta so far.

Bad reviews for insurance companies are usually left by customers that either did not read the policy correctly or omitted / lied about something when applying for the insurance or the claim.
