Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

Getting older is not a preexisting condition. Five million people between fifty and sixty-five just watched their premiums climb, too young for Medicare and too old to be priced as if nothing had happened to them yet, and the fifty-eight-year-old in the tee opened the renewal letter standing up and sat down. Nobody chose to turn fifty-eight, and it should not carry a surcharge. This tee says so on the way to the marketplace enrollment table.

Wear it to the marketplace enrollment event, the town hall on premiums, the AARP chapter meeting, the retirement planning seminar, and the family dinner where a relative says just get a better plan. It is a strong gift for anyone between fifty and sixty-five, a benefits navigator, a nurse who sees the gap, and the friend who read the renewal letter.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and three lines that read across a marketplace enrollment event. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the renewal-letter entry in the healthcare collection.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.
