If we have the means to provide every patient in the world who has emphysema with portable oxygen tanks and we don't and they die...aren't we murdering them?

This is your logic.

You are talking about taking away an easily available substance, which has already been provided to her.

If I steal the insulin pump from someone who is bedridden and alone at home with no phone, am I guilty of murder?

No...we are neglecting them. That's wrong, too, but it's not murder.
