After 1989 all post-socialist Central and Eastern European countries implemented large-scale health reforms as they tried to convert the ‘socialist’ model of a health care system into a ‘post-socialist’ one. Our article investigates what really happened as the result of reforms from the point of view of ownerships and finance on the sample of new EU member states from Central and South-East Europe accepted for memberships “in the first and second wave” (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia). It shows that privatisation of assets was important feature of reforms in all selected countries. It also shows that selected countries significantly differ from the point of financing health expenditures (mode of financing, total expenditures and the share of public expenditures) with some impact on access. In the last part we discuss if differences in finances may (but must not) be one of factors influencing life expectancy.
