One of the complaints free-market advocates have with single payer healthcare is the existence of waiting lists for certain procedures. For example, Canadians sometimes have to wait to obtain certain healthcare procedures because of the government’s focus on keeping costs down for all taxpayers.
Rural hospitals and health-care providers are already operating under extremely tight budgets and with limited resources as it is.
If doctors are working in a budgeted system and or paid much less to do certain services than today, there is a chance that doctors will choose not to see some patients that they would have happily seen under the current healthcare

Nearly 87% of all Afghans are now within two hours of a healthcare facility. Nevertheless, as in other developing countries, there are just too few facilities, too few resources, and too few medical professionals in a country that is overwhelmingly poor.
Expensive for government
South Africans government is extremely under resourced and understaffed. Due to most of the population being poor they cant afford the services.
