I had never heard of this before, but you’re absolutely right: it sounds like a horrible idea. There should be any number of alternate, better ways to handle your health care costs. Your suggestion of a payment plan would definitely be my first choice.

Wow what a terrible idea, act now buy one elective surgery get one free! 0% APR is such a trap for so many people it’s terribly sad that it has now moved to healthcare. It might be a motivation for people who’ve desperately needed to get into a doctor to finally go, but that’s about the only semi shiny side I can see to this coin.
