Yeah, those medical credit cards are a big ripoff and they prey on vulnerable unsuspecting consumers like me. I obtained this card while sitting in the dentist chair while getting a root canal done. I did not get a chance to read or look at the interest rate. It sounded like a good deal since I did not have to pay interest for three months and I was in the middle of having a dental procedure done. And yes the interest was as much as the total cost of the procedure. and that's a ripoff.
