Third, those "newly insured patients" are currently getting health care in our ER's. It will be nice to both get them off my (and your) dime, and get them out of the ER.
Fourth, if we need more internists, we will make them. That isn't very difficult.
Fifth, you are making the argument that people shouldn't be able to purchase their own health insurance because we have a limit on how much health care we will give in this country? And once we reach the quota, everyone else is shine out of luck? What is that limit? Who set it? It's an absurdly silly argument.

No one statement, take subsidies out of it and get it done. Unhealthy people pay more for health insurance as risky drivers do for car insurance. My premiums aren't inflated for teen age drivers on my auto insurance and my health insurance shouldn't be inflated for riskier patients.
