Health and access to health care are seen as inalienable human rights (UN, 1948). On a global scale, supranational organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) promote Universal Health Coverage (UHC) as a strategy for achieving equity in health (WHO, 2013). Still, major differentials in access exist not only between countries with different levels of economic development but also within countries, even rich countries (Marmot, 2015). The example of Germany can be used to illustrate these inequalities, especially as they pertain to immigrants and refugees.
