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

I cannot afford my own insurance. Said by people who already have it, which is what gives the sentence its bite, and the person in the tee pays the premium every month, watches the deductible sit untouched all year, and skips the appointment anyway. Coverage and access turned out to be two different things sold under one name. This tee says which one she bought.

Wear it to the open enrollment meeting, the urgent care lobby, the town hall on premiums, the union benefits session, and the family dinner where a relative says at least you are covered. It is a strong gift for anyone with a deductible, a benefits counselor, a nurse who hears it daily, and the friend who skipped the appointment.

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 open enrollment meeting. 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 skipped-appointment 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.
