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.
Look, I'm no fan of Obamacare. My preference would have been a single-payer system, along with incentives to increase the pool of available care.
There is, IMHO, no step 1. There are steps that need to be taken concurrently, or sequentially, all of which are necessary to ensuing everyone has access to care.
It's shameful to me that in a country as rich as ours, that we can accept that all people don't have access to health care. These are all solvable problems.
