In Lithuania, for example, the state budget makes a flexible contribution to the health insurance fund based upon average wage levels over recent years, thus stabilising revenues during times of high unemployment. Currently, resources from Seguro Popular are allocated primarily through transfers to states. There are basically three types of funding: l)the Cuota Social, which provides the same per person funding level for each affiliated individual, 2) the Aportacion Solidaria Federal, which are funds directed at specific health sector programmes in a state and also seeks to adjust for need, combined with a small (1.25%) performance-linked component, and 3) the Aportacion Solidaria Estatal, which represents the state’s own contribution and is meant to be equivalent to half the Cuota Social. Resource levels are largely based on the number of affiliated individuals within a state, as an 80% weight is attached to the size of the affiliated population (being the most easily measured dimension of the formula).
