It's extremely different - in the UK, private healthcare exists at the margins and most is done through the NHS. Whereas in the US system it's all private: ObamaCare doesn't actually provide any care for people. There are no ObamaCare federal hospitals. At best I think it spends some federal money on subsidising some kinds of insurance?
It also includes mandatory purchasing of health insurance, which (while necessary to make a fully private system work) is philosophically objectionable to most people.
(The NHS is a fully state owned system that nonetheless has an internal market, which some commentators have called "playing at shops".)
