Bertha Coombs is a reporter for CNBC, covering financial markets, business news stories and health care throughout the business day.
Her health care coverage at CNBC has ranged from covering the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and the failed launch of the Obamacare health insurance exchanges, to the push by health insurers, hospitals and digital health start-ups to make healthcare more consumer-centered through telehealth and in-home care programs – and how those new programs were put to the test during the Covid pandemic.
Over twenty years at CNBC, Coombs has covered the tech sector from the Nasdaq Marketsite and general market news from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Before joining the network, she reported for the pioneering streaming business network, Yahoo Finance Vision. Prior to that, she served as a reporter for ABC News One and a substitute anchor for “World News Now” and “World News This Morning.”
Coombs is a graduate of Yale University. Born in Havana, Cuba, she speaks fluent Spanish.
