Any ideas where to start with health insurance to cover us until Mrs G1ant gets a job. Two of us plus 12 year old arriving in two weeks.

If you arrange the policy before you arrive in the US, it look like you are covered. I'm not making a recommendation but it may be worth looking into as a temporary measure.
Looks like travel insurance, surprised that they only use Lloyds, I can check it out, will post back.
