Jerry L. Rose: Blame greed

In response to the Oct. 4 Point of View “A scourge upon morality”: I encourage Kenneth J. Fortier and like-minded doctors to treat any and all Medicaid patients and others who can’t or won’t pay for health services pro bono. Don’t bill the state for reimbursement and don’t charge patients a fee.

If the good doctor doesn’t like that idea, then maybe the memorial he wants to erect to those who die and suffer should read, “Remembering those sacrificed by greedy doctors who would not treat people for free.”
