quality of care they will be receiving from the health plan they
choose,” said J. Mario Molina, M.D., president and chief executive
officer of Molina Healthcare. “These star ratings demonstrate our
commitment to quality as we continue to grow our Medicare line of
business. Having operated Medicare health plans for 10 years,
specifically serving the most vulnerable Medicare patient
population with the most complex health care needs, we are
confident in our ability to provide high-quality care to our
members as they age.”

states, providing care to nearly 100,000 members. Nationwide,
