Does the American’s US health insurance play any role? Will the person receive an invoice from the country they’re visiting?
And what about a person from a country with generous healthcare visiting the US? What/who do they pay?

Usually you would take out travel medical insurance for that reason.
I ended up with a $20k hospital bill in Chile, I had to pay it. Yes I had an invoice. Luckily my insurance eventually covered it but it took almost a year to get reimbursed.
A buddy of mine got bad food poisoning in Cuba… ended up in the hospital. He had to pay on the spot as well… free healthcare is for citizens only.
