I think if health were in civ5, we'd have heard about it by now. I think it's safe to assume it's gone.
It's probably because they noticed gold was piling up and they couldn't spend it fast enough (or they thought they having to spend it too frequently - tedious). Presumably maintenance costs of cities are either gone or lower, and civic upkeep is probably gone too. They needed to put some costs in the game.
I suspect unit upkeep will be a bit higher this time round too.

Ugh. I thought we'd fixed that?
Do not want.
