Default Sport/Recreational pilot requirements vs medical

I have an FAR question (in real language versus lawyer speak, please).
If "I" have a private license, and an expired medical, can I still fly a light sport aircraft before renewing the medical? I belive the max horsepower is 100 for the sport aircraft. Is that true? What else do I need to know?

Also, it's been a very long time since renting an aircraft, and now I hear most FBOs require aircraft renter's insurance. This is all new to me as well. What do people recommend?
