Between 2015 and 2020 it became significantly harder to be granted sick insurance in Sweden. Altermark and Plesner examine the lived experiences for chronically ill people of losing financial support. They show that consequences often are drastic, as people experience economic crisis.

Emma Kritzberg tog tåget till ett möte på Mallorca. En resa som varade i 54 timmar och kostade mer än dubbelt så mycket som om hon valt att flyga till Medelhavsön på några timmar. Ändå var flyget aldrig ett alternativ. De senaste sex åren har hon varken flugit i tjänsten eller privat, ett medvetet beslut för att minimera klimat­påverkande utsläpp. Emma Kritzberg, professor vid Biologiska instituti
