My Care Is Not Optional Shirt, Save Medicaid Waivers Tee

States can drop optional Medicaid waiver programs, and the word optional is doing a lot of dishonest work, because the care those waivers fund is not optional to the person who lives on it. This design answers back in the first person: my care is not optional. The soft rainbow retro lettering carries a demand that is personal and firm.

For waiver recipients, disabled people whose services are on the chopping block, and the caregivers and advocates standing with them. Wear it to a state budget hearing, a Medicaid rally, a self-advocacy meeting, or anywhere the point needs to be undeniable.

What size should I order? It is a relaxed unisex fit that runs true to size, so choose your usual size.
