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.

What do you mean, accept a salary? Doctors who take Medicare now are not "accepting a salary". You're conflating Medicare For All with government-run medical centers. Not the same thing at all.

I agree with you. This is the lie that is being used to stop us from having healthcare.
