“…To cover these extra payments, Slovenia created a system of additional health care insurances, which is used by 94 per cent of the population (Laursen 2005: 202). Furthermore, both countries have the best rates of life expectancy and infant mortality in the CEEC and score well in health care criteria in a gender dimension (Hacker 2008). Their high economic growth seems to be the central precondition for Slovenia and the Czech Republic to dispose of health care expenditures per capita close to the respective values of their Western European neighbours and considerably ahead of the rest of the CEEC group (see table 4).…”

Welfare state theories tend to use concepts of clustering for defining the affiliation of national social security systems to overarching worlds of welfare. A closer look at the transformation processes of welfare policies in Central and Eastern Europe shows a great variability among those countries in approximating their welfare states to Western European standards. In the design of their pension systems, their health care provision and their unemployment protection, Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC) follow different reform paths. Welfare clusters in Western Europe are used as reference models, but no single example applies to all sectors of social security. Thus, a generalizing picture of welfare provision cannot be drawn for Central and Eastern Europe. Instead of constituting a new individual type of welfare arrangement, a hybridization process is observable.
