Despite a compulsory health insurance system, thousands of people in Switzerland live without health insurance coverage. Consequently, they face difficulties in obtaining healthcare. Through interviews and observations in social and health facilities in Geneva, Switzerland, this book analyses the life and care trajectories of uninsured people. It examines the logics of integration and exclusion that prevail in the Swiss healthcare system. This research shows how access to care is subject to criteria and norms, uncovering triage practices based on individual trajectories. It also highlights the role of personal networks in access to care and reveals a phenomenon of externalisation of care across the border.
