Will your Irish insurance not cover you here at all? Personally, I would consider doing the tour anyway, and figure that the risk of anything happening to me is slight. Also, American hospitals are required to provide emergency medical care to everybody who walks (or is wheeled) through their doors. Of course they will make vigorous efforts to collect payment after you leave.
