Revolutionizing the Way We Pay for Healthcare: Can Tech Give You Freedom from Health Insurance?

YourUpdateTV

Every year, a quarter million Americans declare bankruptcy due to medical bills despite having health insurance. Recently, Andy Schoonover, Founder and CEO of CrowdHealth, teamed with YourUpdateTV on a satellite media to discuss how leveraging technology can help you get your healthcare freedom back without breaking the bank. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/7HLiYcpGqFU For 30 years, the middle class has experienced no real income growth due to the increasing costs of health insurance. Research shows inadequate health insurance accounts for nearly 67 percent of all bankruptcies. This statistic is staggering and illustrates a difficult reality for the many American families navigating today’s insurance market. Technology is being used to build a new, community-powered solution for all. CrowdHealth is an app and technology platform that allows you to make a monthly contribution to the Community and those funds are used to fund the community’s health care bills. Crowdfunding models of paying for health care maximize the probability that all members’ eligible bills will be paid in full each month. These models come without the burdens of skyrocketing premiums and deductibles. Unlike traditional models, members aren’t chained to yearly contracts and have more flexibility and autonomy with crowdfunded models. CrowdHealth provides app-based tools such as: The latest innovation in fintech, allowing their members to aggregate crowdsourced funds to pay doctors quickly and directly. A nationwide doctor quality and cost database that empowers their members to make informed decisions about their care without the limitation of restrictive networks. Highly engaged, personalized Care Advocacy to help their members navigate their health journeys. Negotiation and legal services that fight for patients when dealing with outrageous bills. Access to deeply discounted prescription drugs. By eliminating insurance plan middlemen, reimagining the healthcare payment system and empowering doctors to direct care choices, CrowdHealth will help their members significantly reduce their out-of-pocket expenses when compared to healthcare.gov plans.

About Andy Schoonover Andy Schoonover is founder and CEO of CrowdHealth, a community-powered alternative to health insurance that provides a revolutionary way of paying for healthcare bills through crowdfunding.

Hi-Tech Holiday Gift Guide

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/8TiX7QwCt14 With the holiday hustle and bustle in full swing, many U.S. consumers are still struggling to find the perfect tech gifts for our loved ones. A new study from the Consumer Technology Association found that this season’s tech sales will hit $142.5 billion. Tech Expert, Dave King has a few ideas to help shoppers score this year’s hottest gadgets and gear. TECH & SELF-CARE: Tech has helped transform aspects of our daily lives, including fitness, productivity, and mindfulness. One area King is excited to talk about is oral care. The Oral-B iO Series 8 combines powerful, but gentle micro-vibrations with a unique dentist-inspired round brush head design for a professional clean feeling every day. The Smart Pressure Sensor helps to keep people from brushing too hard to protect their gums and enamel. AI Recognition, plus an interactive display, helps guide brushers to their best clean for all areas of the mouth. A 2-minute quadrant timer comes built-in that pulsates every 30 seconds, ensuring a complete clean. King adds, “The frictionless, smooth magnetic drive system transfers energy to the bristle tips for spectacular clean teeth.” The Oral-B iO Series 8 is available at oralb.com and all major retailers. For more information, visit https://oralb.com/en-us/products/electric-toothbrushes/oral-b-io-series-8-electric-toothbrush-black-onyx/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=&utm_term=&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtrSLBhCLARIsACh6RmiEbq-V4oACt4hbQA_DLBSabI5mKHcPOutf6QUoarstrWysIoViKx4aAroYEA. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oralb Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oralb/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/OralB UP YOUR PROFESSIONAL GAME WITH TECH GEAR: All signs are pointing to remote work persisting and trending permanent for many American businesses. King says we’ve learned so much about managing hybrid and remote work over the past year-and-a-half. “At this point, it’s really time to up our professional games to look and sound our very best,” highlights King. The tech expert recommends the Poly Studio P5 kit with Sync 20, a high-performance webcam optimized for video conferencing with 1080p resolution that works with any cloud-based video platform such as Zoom and Teams – paired with the Poly Sync 20 smart speakerphone to deliver a premium audio experience. This pro-grade kit is the perfect choice for the remote or hybrid worker in your life. These tech items are available through Poly.com, Amazon, Best Buy, and other major retailers. For more information, visit https://www.poly.com/us/en/shop/holiday-promotions. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PolyCompany/ Twitter: @PolyCompany Instagram: @PolyCompany Hashtags: #PolySync #PolyStudio UPGRADE - FOCUS ON PRODUCTIVITY & EFFICIENCY: King says there are other ways tech can be used to increase work from home productivity and efficiency. One of his top recommendations is to upgrade everyday gadgets to something special. One of the tech expert’s favorite finds is the Happy Hacking Keyboard (HHKB) from Fujitsu Computer Products of America. He says it has an incredible following of loyal programmers, developers, and coders all over the world. “I like it’s compact, highly-customizable design and connectivity options,” adds King. The HHKB comes in three different models, two different colors — ivory and charcoal, and with either stamped or blank keys. One keyboard King highlights is the Professional HYBRID Type-S. “This keyboard is ideal for people working from home, programmers, and all computer pros. Its exclusive use of Topre silent switches provides supreme tactility, extra comfort and keystroke precision eliminating keyboard clacking,” King continues, “It’s also compact — 60% of the size of standard keyboards — and features Bluetooth compatibility so users can connect to smartphones, tablets and more.” The Professional HYBRID Type-S is available on Amazon.com or at HHKeyboard.us. For more information, visit https://hhkeyboard.us/. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hhkbUS/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hhkb_realforce_us/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HHKB_RF_US RESEARCH & REVIEW: A record 191 million U.S. adults plan to purchase tech items this holiday season. King says consumers can make sure they’re getting the right gift at the best price. Another one of his recommendations is to stay calm and focused. Additionally, it’s important to rely on great reviews to manage shopping expectations. King turns to the community at Slickdeals. “No one is selling anything. The service is about shoppers helping shoppers,” says the tech expert. “It’s the only shopping platform powered by millions of real people who are out there discovering, sharing, and vetting the best deals.” The site, apps, browser extension, and new loyalty program have millions of users who connect and discover the very best deals from all the top retailers, like Walmart and Amazon. King says this is important, “So you can know if you're actually getting the best product at the best price,” adding, “It’s like having 12 million friends help you understand where the best deals on the best products are happening. If you’re shopping for something specific, set a deal alert, so you’re notified when something matching your criteria gets posted.” To find reviews, go to https://slickdeals.net/.

How a Mountain Was Made by Greg Sarris Now Available on Audible

Greg Sarris

About the Book: How a Mountain was Made by Greg Sarris Narrated by Tanis Parenteau Length: 5 hours 39 minutes In the tradition of Calvino’s Italian Folktales, Greg Sarris, author of the award-winning novel Grand Avenue, turns his attention to his ancestral homeland of Sonoma Mountain in Northern California. In 16 interconnected original stories, twin crows Question Woman and Answer Woman take us through a world unlike yet oddly reminiscent of our own: one that blooms bright with poppies, lupines, and clover; one in which Water Bug kidnaps an entire creek; in which songs have the power to enchant; in which Rain is a beautiful woman who keeps people’s memories in stones. Inspired by traditional Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo creation tales, these stories are timeless in their wisdom and beauty, and because of this timelessness, their messages are vital and immediate. The figures in these stories ponder the meaning of leadership, of their place within the landscape and their community. In these stories we find a model for how we can all come home again. At once ancient and contemporary, How a Mountain Was Made is equally at home in modern letters as the ancient story cycle. Sarris infuses his stories with a prose stylist’s creativity and inventiveness, moving American Indian literature in a new and emergent direction. “These are charming and wise stories, simply told, to be enjoyed by young and old alike—'stories need us if they are to come forth and have life too.'” – Kirkus Reviews “Stunning.... Neither an arid anthropological text nor another pseudo-Indian as-told-to fabrication. Instead, Sarris has breathed new life into these ancient Northern California tales and legends, lending them a subtle, light-hearted voice and vision.” – Scott Lankford, Los Angeles Review of Books About the Author: Greg Sarris is author of the anthology Keeping Slug Woman Alive: A Holistic Approach to American Indian Texts, the novel Watermelon Nights, and scripts for screen and stage. He is Chairman of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria and holds the Endowed Chair in Native American Studies at Sonoma State University. ### Contact Details Landis Communications Inc.

Velocity Global

Nationwide contest sends three winners to live anywhere in the world for a full year and keep their current job Velocity Global to showcase the positive impact of remote work by supporting the winners at no cost to their employers Velocity Global, the leading provider of global talent solutions, today announced its Out of Office Year TM contest, which provides three winners the ability to work remotely in their current jobs from anywhere in the world, paid for by Velocity Global. "In this new world of work, you can be the CEO of your own career. Talent can move across the country or across the world on their own terms and their employer can benefit,” said Ben Wright, Velocity Global founder, and CEO. “The ‘Out of Office Year’ demonstrates to employers and employees how simple it is to work from anywhere, all while gaining new life experiences and a broader world view.” Workplace flexibility remains top of mind for workers. According to an August 2021 survey from FlexJobs, 58% of employees reported they wanted to be full-time remote post-pandemic. It’s a desire among business leaders as well. In the 2022 Velocity Global Work in Progress report, 63% of the more than 1,000 tech leaders surveyed said they would prefer to work from a new location such as closer to family or overseas. As employers continue to institute policies around different workplace concepts – remote, in-office, or hybrid – employees are evaluating if those policies align with their priorities. “The ability to work remotely is one of the most important conversations employers can have with their current and potential employees,” said Robert Herjavec, founder and CEO of Herjavec Group and Velocity Global brand ambassador. “I grew a leading cybersecurity company by committing to hire top talent from anywhere. I know the benefits that ‘work anywhere’ brings to a business, but now employees know the benefits it brings to their lives. There’s no turning back and Velocity Global’s Out of Office Year sheds light on how simple it can be to make this benefit a reality.” Out of Office Year Contest Details The contest is open to all U.S. residents interested in moving to another location while keeping their current job. At OOOyear.com, applicants submit up to a 60-second video explaining where and why they want to work remotely. Velocity Global will select three applicants and fulfill their dreams of working anywhere. Velocity Global will facilitate the conversation between the employees and their employers regarding worry-free compliance, payroll, and employee support. Velocity Global will support that employee through its global work platform in any of more than 185 countries for one year at no cost to the employer. The employer simply continues to pay the salary, benefits, and other regulatory requirements just as they do now for that employee. The winners and their stories will be chronicled through Velocity Global’s social media channels to inspire other employees and employers to enter the future of work. For more information about the contest or to submit an entry, please visit OOOyear.com. Applications are now open until January 31, 2022.
