Stalwart "citizens" of the community, who take the money and run. "Despicable" doesn't begin to describe this kind of behavior. Most already "had it made" far beyond the average Joe and Jane in the area, but obviously that wasn't good enough. And in reading Mr. Patterson's letter and grasshopper's comment, it sounds like making money was THE prime objective, not providing a good service to their patients and the taxpayer. Ah, what the term "success" has come to mean in the good, old USA. We are truly a country in moral decline.
