Maybe works.

Perhaps "persons no longer covered by (entitled to) sickness insurance"

sickness benefit
Peer comment(s):

agree Cynthia Coan : Or "those whose ... insurance has expired." My (offline) Norstedt's dictionary allows for "sickness" or "unemployment benefits". See also my reference posting comparing "sickness insurance" versus "sickness benefits" definitions.

Thank you, Cynthia. I believe it should be "sickness benefit", as the money most probably come from some government agency in the case of Sweden. (Perhaps it's what people call Försäkringskassan, but I am not sure.)

Compare definition of "sickness benefits":

1. (Social Welfare) (formerly, in the British National Insurance scheme) a weekly payment made to a person who had been off work through illness for more than three days and less than six months; replaced by incapacity benefit in 1995

2. (Social Welfare) (in New Zealand) a payment made by the Department of Social Welfare to a person unable to work owing to a medical condition

Based on above data, it would appear that "sickness benefits" are payments provided through a government agency, whereas "sickness insurance" comes through an insurance company and/or possibly an employer who provides the insurance in question. In other words, which term applies would seem to depend on where the money came from before the payments ran out.
