So who should pay?

The hospital could pay it pretty easily

If a hospital provides free healthcare to non-paying patients, then the paying patients pick up the large bill for all.
A hospital doesn't print money. And what happens when you have too many non-paying patients?

Friend had a heath care crisis in Italy, was admitted for 3 days. No bills.

This illegal alien individual was admitted for 69 days and counting.
That's almost $200,000 if you take the average cost of a hospital bed per day.
They are not paying for any it either. People that pay health insurance will pay for it with higher medical cost and higher insurance premiums.

Who said free? They can pay for it then bill them later and figure it out.

So hoping that illegal aliens pay hospital bills is your strategy for keeping the medical system in financial solvency?
Good luck with that.

Same strategy that’s in place now for people who go to the hospital without insurance yes.

I think you missed the part about the illegal alien being at the center of this case. And how millions more are coming across the border right now. It's not sustainable.
You can either have open borders, or a robust social safety net. Not both.
