“The government pays for care that is delivered in the private (mostly not-for-profit) sector.”

What does that mean?

It means that you still have health “insurance”, but the government is the only insurer.

And this gives the government control over what health care you get, and since they can set reimbursement rates, will control indirectly the investment in health care by hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturers, etc.
And their low rates will probably drive doctors out of the business.
