CI The Cigna Group
Cigna is a health company that sells insurance and health-benefit administration to employers, government programs, and individuals, and that also runs a pharmacy-benefit operation. On the insurance side it collects premiums and pays medical claims; for a large share of its employer customers it bears no insurance risk at all but is paid a fee to administer the employer's own self-funded plan. The pharmacy-benefit side negotiates drug prices with manufacturers and processes prescriptions, and much of the company's reported revenue is simply the drugs that pass through it.

CNC Centene Corporation
Centene is a health insurer that mostly covers people in government programs — Medicaid and Medicare — along with families who buy coverage on the Health Insurance Marketplace. It collects premiums, largely from the state and federal governments that pay it to manage members' care, and out of that money it pays the members' medical claims. What is left after claims and overhead is the profit, so the business is a bet that the premium will cover the doctor and hospital bills that follow.

HUM Humana Inc.
Humana is a health insurer built around Medicare, the government program for older Americans. It sells private Medicare Advantage plans, along with Medicaid coverage for lower-income members; it collects premiums, much of which the federal government pays on a per-member basis, and out of those premiums it pays members' medical claims, keeping whatever is left after claims and the cost of running the plans. Through its CenterWell arm it also delivers care to members directly rather than only paying others to provide it.

MOH Molina Healthcare
Molina runs health insurance plans for people covered by government programs, chiefly Medicaid, alongside Medicare and the insurance marketplaces. Its paying customers are state Medicaid agencies and the federal government, which hand it a fixed sum for each enrolled member every month to arrange that member's medical care. Molina keeps the difference between those premiums and what it pays doctors and hospitals for the care its members actually use.

UNH Unitedhealth Group Incorporated
UnitedHealth Group sells health insurance and runs a set of health-services businesses alongside it.
