Be curious, be courageous, says CMS administrator
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — Physicians need to be courageous and speak up even when their message isn’t popular, Mehmet Oz, MD, MBA, administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), said here Monday at the American Medical Association’s (AMA) Interim Meeting of the House of Delegates.
The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement “is defined by one word … and that word is curiosity,” said Oz. “Are you willing to do what a scientist should do and push back at orthodoxy? Scientists ask extra questions, and then they use them to heal people, and we have to do that with the courage required to speak about issues that are not popular.”
