Dental Credit Card Investigation in NY

Dental credit card investigationMedical and dental credit cards are being investigated by Andrew Cuomo, New York's Attorney General, for allegations of predatory lending practices.

His office has received complaints from hundreds of patients who were convinced by their doctor or dentist to sign up for a medical or dental credit card, only to find themselves beset by high interest rates and surcharges.

The Attorney General's office has issued subpoenas primarily to investigate GE Money's CareCredit card, but other subpoenas have also been issued for Chase Health Advance, Visa Health Benefits and Citibank Health Card.

Concerns have been raised that it is inappropriate for a dentist (or other medical practitioner) to simultaneously push for dental treatment and for dental financing.

    You’ve got to be f$&@$&@ kidding me. A ignorant politican Lawyer, the least trusted human beings on the planet are so distrustfull of the most trusted profession on the planet dentistry. How about the reason that the economy is in trouble is the the use of credit or high the interest rates are but rather the misuse of credit by buying crap that we don’t need. That doesn’t include basic necessities like getting out of pain, keeping your teeth, smile, eating comfortably, looking and talking good. Why not investigate the crooks that started this crisis like the realtors and bank and mortgage companies that want people to buy house they can’t afford. Each of these cc are great companies and dentist can’t force people to use them. The dentist isn’t making them buy sh$$ they don’t need! They need their teeth! These are unsecured loans and free market is determining the rates not some dumb as& politician interfereing with the private business. By the way how’s that working for us , they are bankrupting our nation, are cities, and are childrens future, yet they are interfering with the doctor patient relationship. How about this fact some people are just irresponsible with money and credit maybe they are just bad with simple math. You know even if some of these complainers used all four credit cards and had all their teeth fixed for thousands of dollars then filled bankrupsy they would be better off, they would still have their health and teeth. In these times that would be smart and admirable. Cars can be reposessed, homes can be forclosed but health ,
    Pricesless!
