Travel Health insurance

I am considering a holiday which would include a flight transfer in Los Angeles.  Would our medical travel insurance require US cover? We would not be planning to leave the airport.

    Depends on the terms of the policy... does it cover North America?

    In my opinion, yes. You should consider what would happen if you fell down an escalator and broke your ankle or became unwell at the airport. It's better to be safe than sorry.
