The Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Dr. Mehmet Oz, spoke to non-profit health system executives, investors, and industry observers this week at the 25th Annual Not-for-Profit Healthcare Investors Conference sponsored by Barclays, HFMA and the American Hospital Association. Dr. Oz outlined his vision for CMS – after joking that the difference between a “vision” and a “hallucination” is whether a person can bring others along with them – and addressed some of the critical policy issues related to Medicaid currently under debate in the United States Congress.
