Monthly interest fees: $15
Annual Fee: None

Visa

Annual Fee: None

Personal, non revolving loan
Balance: $5890
Interest: 16.45%
Monthly payment 360, out of which 85 is interest, 275 goes to principal
Monthly interest fees: 85


Car loan

Balance: $9410
Interest: 5.95%
Monthly payment 297, out of which 49 is interest, 248 goes to principal
Monthly interest fees: 85

Paid for accounts

Care Credit
$5000 available credit @ 23% (only for health services)
Annual Fee: None

Master card
$1000 available credit @ 24%
Annual Fee:19

I think that is the correct sequence for paying them off.
Now, which cards would you keep after all is said and done.

I think I will cancel the Master card since it was an annual fee
What do you think?
How much do you have to pay on your debts every month?

Once you either pay off the AMEX or when you have enough available credit on your Visa, I would think about paying off your personal, non-revolving loan with your Visa at 12.99% so that you reduce your interest payments. It would probably also reduce your overall minimum monthly payments so more could go to principle.
