Credit Card companies are monitoring charges on their credit cards and reducing your credit limit if they detect “unusual” health care related charges.   The reasoning is that if you are paying health care expenses then you (or somebody you care about) are probably sick and sick people eventually have credit problems because health insurance companies will fuck you over.  So, to help you out the credit card companies drop your credit limit right away because they need to watch out for people who may not be able to pay their bills in the future.  This, in turns, triggers a lower credit score so you can forget about getting another credit card.

It is an elegant, evil, immoral, abusive system whereby if you get sick you will not only have to deal with being sick but you will have to deal with  lower credit limits and deteriorating credit.

Just another example of how capitalism doesn’t work.
