I'm self-employed and use a catastrophic healthcare plan, found through the healthcare market (http://healthcare.gov). There were some hiccups in the beginning when I had to call repeatedly to ensure all the paperwork went through, but that's expected (unfortunately).

Pay your rent with a Credit or Debit card. No landlord signup required
tylergalpin
As many other comments have pointed out almost everyone with a debit card already has a free bill pay option from their bank. Thus the only real market for this is paying by credit card. Spiraling debt? Chargebacks? This is going to end badly.
