Stop the madness!

To the Editor:

I was amazed at the full page ad that ran in last week’s Bayonne Community News for CarePoint Health that featured a fireman in uniform. What amazes me is that CarePoint Health no longer accepts Horizon Blue Cross/Blue Shield, the insurance provider for the police, fire department, Board of Education, and city workers in the city of Bayonne. I would like to know who approved this fireman in uniform to do this ad and what they were thinking. People should think before they make decisions involving city employees and the ramifications of supporting a hospital that no longer accepts its coverage.
