In plain English
Centene is the plumbing of America's government health programs: the largest Medicaid managed-care insurer and largest Marketplace (Ambetter) insurer in the US, plus the biggest stand-alone Medicare Part D drug-plan sponsor. States and the federal government pay it premiums to cover ~28 million low-income, disabled and elderly members; Centene contracts a network of doctors and hospitals to deliver the care and hands its ~$35B pharmacy programme to Cigna's Express Scripts.
