No, that's false. At the very least, all residents are covered, regardless of their working status in Austria, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Luxembourg, Norway, Romania, Serbia, and Sweden.

In Romania you need to be employed to have the public health insurance. There is a long list of other exceptions, but being an entrepreneur who just started a company and doesn't have income is not one of them.

The standard is almost always résidence, not work status. So if you move to that country from inside the EU and thus get recognized as a resident you get these benefits, sometimes after a period of time.
