About This Product

A faux-scripture for the American insurance experience, on a heavyweight organic cotton tote. Premiums up. Claims denied. 

In God we trust. In insurance, we beg.

That's the deal, isn't it. You pay every month,more than last year, more than the year before, and somehow the answer keeps being the same one. You get the privilege of asking, and someone with a quota gets the privilege of saying no.

This tote is for everyone who's noticed. The patient who's done begging. The parent reading another denial letter at the kitchen table. The nurse handing the phone to the next patient because there's nothing left to say. The person staring at a premium increase notice wondering what, exactly, they've been paying for.

Made from heavyweight organic cotton, so the bag itself is also a small refusal of plastic, of throwaway logic, of the idea that things have to be flimsy to be cheap. Big enough for a grocery run, a stack of library books, a market haul, or whatever you're carrying through the week.

The details:

  • 100% certified organic cotton 3/1 twill
  • Heavyweight 8 oz/yd² (272 g/m²) fabric
  • 16" × 14.5" × 5" (40.6 × 35.6 × 12.7 cm)
  • 30 lb (13.6 kg) weight limit
  • Dual 24.5" (62.2 cm) straps, 1" (2.5 cm) wide
  • Open main compartment
  • Printed on demand

Good to know:

  • Replacement guarantee on defective, misprinted, or damaged items (14-day window, photo required)
 

The worst part happens where nobody can see it.

The denial arrives in an envelope. The phone call happens in your kitchen. The appeal is a stack of paper on a table nobody else sits at. None of it is visible from the outside, and that is exactly what makes it work.

Prior Authorize This. exists to drag one piece of it into daylight. You were already dealing with your body. They made you deal with them too.

A shirt doesn't fix any of this. It does make it harder for the system to pretend nobody noticed.
