Uhm, the Netherlands does? In Dutch [1]. There are a few mechanisms. One is a maximum price based on a basket of comparable countries. Two is a maximum insured price based on comparable medicines with mandatory co-payments above the average. Three is insurers bargaining with apothecaries. Four is government bargaining for orphan medicines. Five is sometimes allowing apothecaries to create licensed medicine by themselves. Many of these are totally opposite the US-system afaik, with Medicare not being allowed to negotiate prices being the most glaring one.
