Hey I love Germany and its healthcare system but I don't think it works like that.

If you're a foreigner in Germany you still get charged. They have a mandatory but still opt-in health insurance system.

Usually you are not getting billed as a foreigner

Bullshit.

Every case gets billed

Not in Italy or Austria (I worked in the field in both countries).

I've also did part of my medical education in a hospital in Austria, and sure people will get care if it's deemed necessary, even if its completely obvious they will never be able to pay (like homeless people with severe drug addiction), but they were asked to provide a credit card or would get issued a bill if they couldn't provide an EHIC.
