Molina Healthcare, Inc.

Molina Healthcare, Inc. is an American managed health care company headquartered in Long Beach, California, that provides government-funded health insurance, primarily through Medicaid, Medicare, and Affordable Care Act marketplace plans. It was founded in 1980 by Dr. C. David Molina, an emergency room physician who opened a clinic in Long Beach to serve low-income patients who lacked access to regular medical care, and the family business grew from that single clinic into a managed care organization serving members across multiple US states. Molina Healthcare focuses specifically on government-sponsored health programs rather than employer-based commercial insurance.
