I would take “Public health care” to mean the government runs all healthcare services.
Single payer means public health insurance, and the absence private health insurance. From the perspective of a private (or public) hospital, there is one payer: the federal government.
Why is “public health care” called “single payer” in the USA? It sounds so weird. Everybody pays for everybody, it’s not a single payer.

Yeah. The difference is that there’s still private clinics (and maybe hospitals) that work as contractors.
