Is that the intention of Obamacare - to replace all private healthcare and ban people from buying drugs and treatment themselves making Obamacare a mandatory monopoly?

Yes. There was a thread on FR yesterday about the panel that has/will be established with Obamacare that makes determinations on American's healthcare whether the government pays for it or not. Let me find it and I'll ping you to it.

Thanks for that - I’m trying to understand how Obamacare compares to the NHS as the latter is often used as a blunt intrument to beat the former!

Even if what is described on the other thread goes ahead, Americans will still be able to get what they need via HMO’s or by paying themselves like us though won’t they?
