In USA ,you need medical insurance incase you need any health support or emergency .

 

Travel insurance cover only  travel or emergency medical health issue 

 

So on safeside ,you need min one or both from day 1 untill tyou sort out health insurance through your employer or you buy policy through marketplace (you need SSN for that to apply ) .

I heard in few states ,discounted medical insurance available for new immigrants (where no waiting period ) as you classes as low income in first year till you submit first tax return .

Do you mean for when you immigrate to the US? If that’s what you mean, I highly doubt you’ll be able to get travel insurance —as it’s for travel, not immigration. In most states they will ask for a SSN when you enroll on health insurance but it’s technically not mandated in most states, they just make it sound like it is, when really they care more about proving residence. In some cases you can use an ITIN. Besides, you would get a SSN soon upon arrival since you’d have a green card. 
Do you have an interview date or are you still years out? I think it’s like a 10 year processing time for f-4
