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

I budget for being sick. There is a row in the monthly spreadsheet for the thing that is supposedly covered, and it sits directly under rent, because coverage and affordability turned out to be two separate products, and the person in the tee named the row 'deductible' and stopped pretending. No other wealthy country budgets for a broken arm. This tee reads the spreadsheet out loud.

Wear it to the urgent care waiting room, the pharmacy counter, the budgeting workshop, the town hall on premiums, and the family dinner where a relative says at least you have insurance. It is a strong gift for anyone with a deductible row, a nurse, a medical billing advocate, and the friend who stopped pretending.

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 an urgent care waiting room. 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 deductible-row 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.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.
