This article shows that “not chosen” experiences of non-take up to healthcare, having multiple implications for people and remaining unanswered from the social protection and health system, create a paradoxical situation. The result, among the people concerned, is a destabilization of representations of system, conducive to the construction of criticisms and reactions leading people to keep, voluntarily and by different means, at a distance from certain health and social offers.
