    The ethical dilemma proposed in this case study involves a psychologist who purposefully miscodes a client’s clinical diagnosis while billing the insurance for services since half of the patient’s clinical diagnosis is often declined for payment by the insurance company. While the therapist was only trying to help the patient out by saving them money by getting the insurance company to pay for all the services provided, the psychologist was unethical in not disclosing all the appropriate information to the insurance company. In fact, not disclosing this information could be perceived as insurance fraud and the company could pursue legal action if they found out that the therapist had purposefully withheld this information (Koocher & Keith-Spiegel,…

    Most Americans are living beyond their means, and they are using credit cards to do it. In a society that is more focused on instant gratification rather than long-term rewards, people feel the need to make purchases regardless of if they can afford them or not. Every day millions of Americans go out to purchase large ticket items such as televisions and computers. Rather than save up money over time for these large purchases, most people who cannot afford to purchase these items outright use their credit cards to make these large purchases. Other people use their credit cards to pay for daily expenses such as a quick lunch or groceries. Many people, and not just women as one might expect, love to practice retail therapy funded by their credit cards. A simple purchase can make them feel better after a bad day at work or a fight with a spouse. Still other people just cannot pass up a good sale. Whether it is to keep up with the Jones or just an impulse purchase, the problem is people do not see credit cards as “real” money. Pulling out a credit card is easy; it does not hurt the way paying cash for something does. When spending cash out of pocket, there is a tangible limit to the amount of money that can be spent; Credit cards do not have this tangible limit. Without limits, people spend more than they can afford as well as more money in…

    Finally, learn to save for financial emergencies. Even if you feel robust and invincible, a single emergency room trip or car accident could force you to pay large sums on credit, causing interest to accrue and more debt to pile up.

    Credit cards are attractive for many people because they don’t have to physically carry money with them; but they are also dangerous because of interest rates that the banks charge. These rates can vary from bank to bank but in addition to interest rates if you can’t make your payment deadline the banks will charge you extra for a late fee which just makes the problem worse. For example my friend Chris learned this the hard way when he purchased a pretty pricey mountain bike using his credit card. It took Chris six months to pay the bike off and he winded up pay thirty percent of the bikes total price back just as interest. Needless to say this made Chris much more cautious about using his credit card and when he does use he pays it off as fast as he can to prevent the interest from racking up. However not everyone learns this lesson, many times the interest compounds and people can’t pay back the interest let alone the actual price of the item causing them to fall into debt, which is only made worse you buy big ticket items like cars and houses.…

    Many people use credit cards and most of the time the credit card is not used in the right moment.I believe that credit cards are not beneficial because they aren't used for the right things. It would be very different if they were used correctly, credit cards are to be used it case of an emergency,meaning not to be used when you are going to the 7-eleven to buy a bag of chips an a soda. It has shown that more than 75% percent of americans have been bankrupt or on the verge of it. There are more than 60% of americans that have credit card debt because they are using them for the wrong things. Facts have proven that the total U.S. credit card debt, is $793.1 Billion. and Average credit card debt per household is 15,799. Most people do not understand that when you have a credit card it comes with alot of responsibility and i say that because there are more than 10% of americans have been victims of credit card theft it may not seem like alot but credit card theft is a very serious thing. Most complaints come from adults within the ages 40-59, Nevada, Colorado, and New Hampshire have the highest rate of credit card fraud. Having a credit card is not what people think it is; people think that if i have a credit card then i do not have to have money with me, and its just free money but its very dangerous to have a credit card. Having a credit card can lead to bankrupt and going bankrupt can make you lose everything such as your car, house, and etc., or it could be worse an you could be placed in jail for a long time. Just because you had a credit card and used it for the wrong thing and spent way to much money...A credit card is nothing but trouble each and every type of way.
