"Ouch," said Carl McDonald, analyst with Citigroup Inc. "This is unwelcome news for all of the Medicaid plans, but it is particularly problematic for Molina, since Ohio was the company's most important state." McDonald has called Ohio's decision "pretty rare" and doesn't expect other states to follow suit. "It probably doesn't have much implication," he said. "No two states ever seem to be looking for exactly the same thing, and we've found it virtually impossible to accurately predict the Medicaid plans that will win a particular request for proposal."
