Won't these new services require rather significant increases in taxes? Not to mention government takeover of industry to impose price fixing and rationing raises some red flags for me.

No, because there are no new services, just nationalization of services people are already paying for, and removing to the extent the industry has profits (or surplus revenues in the nonprofit components), nationalization would provide free revenue in first-order effect.
