It does seem to be a bit of a toss-up between countries whether or not you will actually get charged. Supposedly international visitors to the UK are supposed to get charged but no one seems to know how to actually bill anyone, so it never happens. Weirdly the government doesn't seem all that interested in fixing it either, so it kind of just exists as a pseudo international free healthcare service.

I would think that giving people care doesn't actually cost much, it's having the capability that's expensive. And the administrative work required to deal with the edge case of charging foreigners might not be worth the minor sums involved.
