Governments of countries that have public health care generally are price sensitive. The competition is from other governmental functions that need the budget.

That's less a matter of price sensitively and more that other countries usually have price controls on healthcare. That's why doctors make so much less and drugs are so much cheaper outside the US: it's literally illegal to charge more.
