People don't like the idea of putting a price on their health.

They don't like it, but healthcare costs money and money is a limited resource. That's reality.

In the US system it's the insurance companies that limit access (or the cost to an individual). In other countries it's the gov't.

Yes, but in other countries everyone gets the same access to health care and people don't die on the street because they can't afford a commodity like an epipen! Though you might die in a hospital bed because the government wont spend a million euros a week on medication that may or may not give you a year more to live.
