I called to make payment arrangements and they told me they don't do credit but could send out 2 credit card applications with a 16% interest rate. Can you please tell me what planet I am living on ? How did things get to this point when just a few years ago I paid $35.- for an office visit. What is the purpose of all this greed and when is enough enough ?
