Are you claiming that what keeps economically disadvantaged people from accessing health care is the number of providers available?
Even if we grant as true that there is insufficient supply, increasing the supply isn't going to magically make it available to those who cannot afford it.
This is a multifaceted problem.
CD it does no good to give everyone in the town food stamps to buy food if the only grocery store in that town only supplies enough food to feed half of them.
This is indeed a multifaceted problem that needs to be solved in a particular order. Obamacare and Single payer fail because they exclude critical steps.
If your goal is healthcare for everyone, step 1 is to start producing enough healthcare for everyone.
