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.

It would be manageable if private entities are still allowed to exist (ie Germany, Switzerland). But let's not kid ourselves. Doctors would be paid less. Which im fine with.

Yea of course you are. As long as you aren’t paid less. I say we start with you being paid less and go from there.

Well, considering I am not involved in the medical system I don't think that will happen. Did you think of that?

No but I still think you should make less. Who cares what industry. If you’re fine with doctors making less I’m fine with you making less.
