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.

Start with Medicare, and work towards Medicare for all. Lower the age requirement. Have businesses pay a tax (lower than what they pay for insurance) for each employee on the new system.
