And some people value healthcare better than others... So let's price healthcare the right price for those who value good healthcare, like in the US, where the average Joe avoid going to the doctor, even when he is insured, or go bankrupt when he have to go to ER for a simple broken leg or die from diabetes because he can't pay the monthly 1300$ for medication and save on insuline shots. Sure "Price Regulation" seems to be the solution.

I never said "price regulation". The government should take steps to ensure things are priced fairly and (even more important) transparently. That will look different for different markets, products, market structures (sometimes the government needs to break up the monopoly), ... The situation in healthcare is very complicated and has a lot of moving parts, but the situation in energy less so (AFAIK), it's just that some externalities are not accounted for at all. Opposing that you have lobbyists (e.g. oil) and ideologically-driven players (e.g. some people want to ban meat).
