That should be on case in all of Europe (in Germany and Italy for sure). It's covered but your insurance as long as there is an emergency. So you can't just use the ambulance as a taxi, then you would be billed the whole amount.
Not entirely in the Netherlands. There you have a yearly mandatory "eigen risico" of €385 (or more if you want a discount on health insurance). The first costs you make, you have to pay out of pocket. Only after you've exceeded the €385 in a year will the insurance start covering the costs.
We call that a "deductible". Mine is $1200. So it's more than yours, but it's not quite the same as having to pay for everything out of pocket.
