If an American moves to these countries - do they even qualify for national health care as a non-citizen?[/quote]
depends. You can pay into the system to use it.

We looked into it for the UK. It's about $3500 for 3 years.

Regardless, you can pay private for everything because health care in general is cheaper every where else compared to the US.  No insurance premiums needed.

We spend $20K in the US for medical care here, and most years, we don't even hit the deductible. It makes me sick to think of how much money we waste on health insurance that we use maybe a few times a year. But, we don't want to go without just in case we get a serious illness.  It's f*n scary here.  We are in our 50s, and we have talked about going to the UK if we want to retire early because the cost of private insurance here is stupid expensive.  We would use NHS for general checkups, non-urgent issues, and pay privately for things we don't want to wait for.
