What Molina Healthcare does

US managed-care company focused on Medicaid, Medicare and ACA marketplace plans for low-income members.

Is paid a fixed monthly amount per member by state governments, so profit is the margin left after medical costs, and a contract win or loss in a state can move membership at once. Medicaid is the largest line, with Medicare and ACA marketplace plans smaller. Dr. C. David Molina founded it in Long Beach, California, and the family remains a shareholder.
