What Are the Effects of Abolishing Private Healthcare Insurance?

In this article Delaney makes the argument against abolishing private insurance arguing that it would substantially disincentivise investment into healthcare which would reduce to lower quality and lower access. I find his argument convincing, but due to perceptions of bias (and him being a politician) I'm unwilling to cite him or fully trust his argument. I'm curious what economists think the effects of abolishing private healthcare insurance would be.
