How to reduce your medical bills
Medical bills are more negotiable than you think.

TODAY’S STORY
Despite over 90% of the U.S. population having some form of medical insurance, medical debt remains a consistent challenge:
Americans collectively owe $220 billion in medical debt
~3 million people owe $10,000 or more in medical debt
However, it’s not widely known that you can negotiate your medical bills to save money. A new study through USC found that 62% of people who tried to negotiate were successful in getting the price reduced.
Please share with friends and family to help them save, too :)
The smart home tech that saves you money
RYSE is the smart-home startup that’s creating a brand new category: technologies that automate your existing window coverings.
What’s different about their products?
Existing smart shade tech requires you to replace your shades, but RYSE lets you transform your existing shades into automated ones.
It’s a simple, 5 minute installation that gives you access to remote shade controls, smart home integrations, and scheduling - all at a fraction of the cost of motorized shades.
