Warren Buffett’s Cash, Medical Upcoding, & Trump’s NYC Influence 2/24/25

The Department of Justice’s investigation into United Healthcare’s billing practices has highlighted problematic practices across the American health care system, including upcoding. Former CEO of the Cleveland Clinic Dr. Toby Cosgrove explains common abuses in the system, their legacy, and potential solutions. New York Democratic Congressman Ritchie Torres stops by the set to discuss how city residents consider Mayor Eric Adams’ unusual relationship with President Trump. He explains why he wants the resigned NY Governor Andrew Cuomo to take over as Mayor this election cycle. Plus, DOGE is still making cuts to the federal workforce, the markets suffered their worst day of the year so far, and Omaha Oracle Warren Buffett is amassing more cash–and selling more stock.
