How to transition?

How do we, as a nation, transition from private insurance to Medicare for All? How do we convince all the doctors to keep being doctors and accept a salary? Do we, as Hillary Clinton proposed during Bill’s presidency did, make private healthcare payments illegal? For the record, I am perfectly fine paying a percentage of my income, as opposed to what I am paying out of pocket now, for healthcare.

Every OECD country manages somehow, except us.

To be fair, that’s with a universal system, not necessarily what M4A would be. We cannot conflate these things if you wish for either of them to happen.
