The news world is abuzz with conversations regarding the passing of Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. On Wednesday morning, he was attacked by a masked man outside the Hilton in Midtown, New York City. A a result of the attack, the businessman received a serious injury in the chest and passed away in Mt. Sinai Hospital sometime later. This incident has divided the community into two, with some speaking against the heinous crime while others celebrating the perpetrator for standing up against the insurance company.

One such supporter seems to be Joe Rogan, who recently shared a video on his Instagram post that reveals how the UnitedHealthcare insurance company was scamming their customers by denying their claims and how the insurance companies would never actually be of any help. The video contained a song by Jesse Welles, aka Wellesmusic, who sang lyrics such as, “There’s no ‘you’ in the UnitedHealthcare, there’s no ‘me’ in the company, there’s no ‘us’ in the private trust, there’s hardly humans in humanity.”

If that wasn’t enough, he also adds how the customers paid for the insurance office, the tools they use, and the desks they share, only for them to reject the claims of those same customers. It seems like Rogan completely agreed with the opinion shared by Welles, as he wrote in the caption of the video, “This song slaps,” while giving a shoutout to the singer/songwriter.

However, it is worth noting that Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old suspect in the crime, did not have health insurance from the company according to UnitedHealthcare. As per a note from UnitedHealth Group, there is no document indicating that Mangione was an insured customer. However, the claim made by the company is yet to be verified by the authorities. The shocking incident has furthered discussions about the insurance industry which is worth $3.8 trillion, with Joe Rogan calling it a ‘dirty business’ in a recent JRE episode. Let’s see what he had to say.

Joe Rogan exposes the insurance industry

On The Joe Rogan Experience #2240, Joe Rogan was joined by filmmakers Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary. While many expected the podcast episode to be completely about films, the trio instead talked about the ‘dirty’ business of the insurance industry. Speaking about Brian Thompson’s UnitedHealthcare, Rogan revealed that the company was really bad at denying claims. Something that even Avary agreed to as he replied, “30-34% denial rate.”

This stunned the UFC commentator as he then revealed that it is way above the normal rate. “Normal’s like 16%.” Disgusted by the business, he then added, “The business of insurance is gross. It’s gross, and especially healthcare insurance—just f—–g gross.” However, they were not saying this based on hearsay, as Avary then revealed how his house in California cannot be insured because it is adjacent to an open space. So fearing that a wildfire may destroy it and they will have to accept the claim, the insurance agencies are refusing to insure it.

“Well, actually all insurance [is gross]. I live in California, and all of a sudden, because I live adjacent to [an] open space…nobody will insure my house because of fire…. So, suddenly it’s like I have a house that’s uninsurable. And it’s not just me. It’s everybody, and so it’s chaos.” To this, Joe Rogan also reveals how his friend has to pay $125,000 a year in insurance premiums in California. Well, it surely looks like the UFC commentator is not a fan of the business at all. But what do you think? Let us know in the comments.
