Instead one could also move to a country with universal health care. If you do this when you are still healthy, you could prevent this with regular check ups. Of course sometimes can be missed something and waiting times can be quiet long but that is not exclusive to universal healthcare.
Many of those countries won't accept "I need to live here for the free health care" on a citizenship application. They expect you to bring something to the table, some kind of skill for which they have a need.
You don't need the citizenship to live somewhere forever. At least not in Austria. And you neither need something to bring to the table. It's enough if you want to live there.
