I read in "Heal" magazines (from "Cure" magazine) a few months ago (http://www.curetoday.com/ and http://www.healtoday.com/) that some hospitals are offering a "medical credit card"; starts off with no APR then it shoots up later. Its the hospitals attempt in avoiding unpaid medical bills; but it can really screw up your credit - don't do it!!!! I'm a big fan of Dave Ramsey for eliminating debt http://www.daveramsey.com/. Some articles on medical debt below from the two magazines: http://www.curetoday.com/backissues/v4n3/departments/
