I saw a little bit about this this morning, and immediately thought of this board.

As posted above, I get a 40% discount on medical treatment if I pay with my credit card (because the bank and the hospital are owned by the same company).
i'm all about responsible government and responsible citizenship.
Got it, but even if the interest is not subsidized, the government is presumably guaranteeing the loans and running the bureaucracy etc. IOW, if the loan has government involvement, there is some kind of cost to the government.
It was only about 20,000 dollars. Eventually it grew to about twice that, thanks to a small inheritance and some decent stock buys. I don't see why it was too early. In fact, I really wish I had been given the money at 18, because that way I would have been able to go straight to college after HS, instead of having to wait.
Uhm, we are not on pins and needles either. We pay the credit card bill normally when it is due, whether the insurance has paid us yet or not. We have the cash available. However, by paying with the card, we save 40%. Seems like a no-brainer to me. Besides, nobody uses checks here, so if we don't pay by card, we would need to walk around with several 1000s in cash, which is not all that advisable.
