If I'm interpreting correctly, a tourist ie. someone visiting for 90 days does not need proof of health insurance but should you wish to file for the extended tourist visa or any of the other longer types of visas, it is now required that you have proof of some form of medical insurance.

Many of us who live here carry IESS and often some other private insurance - very inexpensive compared to the States, and very easy to acquire. I still have my Medicare/Medicaid and VA should I happen to fall ill while in the U.S.

I wouldn't be overly concerned , if I were you. It is a bridge you can cross, should you decide to stay here for more than 3 months.
