Here is an analogy. Suppose Gilligan's Island only has enough food to support 5 castaways. Unfortunately there are 7 castaways. It does no good whatsoever for the 7 castaways to simply declare that everyone of them is entitled to food. Eventually 2 of them will starve to death. The solution the castaways should pursue is to make the island provide more food.
If the problem is there is not enough health care for everyone, you do not solve the problem by providing everyone with health insurance.
Okay, I understand what you're saying now. The reason you are opposed to Obamacare/single payer healthcare is that they aren't designed to solve a problem we don't have.
Are you claiming that enough healthcare exist so that everyone can have what they need when they need it? I doubt that, it rare that I see health care resources sitting idle.
