Joe Rogan Slams 'Dirty' Healthcare Industry During Chat With Quentin Tarantino About CEO's Suspected Killer

Joe Rogan has slammed the healthcare biz as "f-cking gross" following the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

The famous podcast host described the billion-dollar industry as "a dirty, dirty business" in a recent episode on his podcast while discussing the death of the health mogul.

Brian Thompson's suspected killer, Luigi Mangione, has since been arrested, with several incriminating items found on him at the time of the arrest.

Joe Rogan Calls The Health Care Business 'Gross'

In a recent episode of his podcast, Rogan criticized the health industry why discussing the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was fatally shot on December 4.

"Maybe his family [would mourn Thompson], but that's about it," Rogan told his guest renowned film director Quentin Tarantino and his "Pulp Fiction" co-writer Roger Avary, per the Daily Beast.

The former television host went on to express his disgust with the underhanded practices often seen in companies managing healthcare insurance, a business the late CEO had been deeply involved in.

"It's a dirty, dirty business," Rogan added. "The business of insurance is f-cking gross. It's gross. Especially healthcare insurance."

Joe Rogan Says Late CEO's Company Is 'Really Bad At Denying Claims'

During the arrest of Thompson's suspected killer, Luigi Mangione, police discovered a manifesto he had written against UnitedHealthcare after suffering a serious back injury that had necessitated painful spinal surgery.

Although the full details of the manifesto were not disclosed, it suggested that the 26-year-old suspect's grievances against Thompson's company may have motivated his actions.

Interestingly, Rogan, who recorded the episode before Mangione's arrest, seemed to have anticipated a scenario like this.

"I don't think this guy was a professional," Rogan remarked. "I think this guy, if I had to guess, [is] some guy [who] got f-cked over. Apparently, that company is really bad at denying claims."

United Health Care CEO's Suspected Killer Was Arrested With Incriminating Items

Mangione was caught on Monday at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pa., where he seemed to have gone for food.

Beyond the manifesto found on him, the police also found a gun and suppressor similar to the one seen in video footage of the crime taken by a surveillance camera.

They also uncovered a fake New Jersey ID, identical to the one the killer had used at a Manhattan hostel, along with clothing that matched what the suspect had been wearing on the day of the crime.

An alleged Manifesto of the suspected shooter was also published online by journalist Ken Klippenstein.

It read, in part, "To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience."

"Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy," Mangione allegedly wrote. "United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but [has] our life expectancy? No, the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has [allowed] them to get away with it."

The Alleged Killer, Luigi Mangione, Was Arraigned On Multiple Charges

After being arrested, Mangione was arraigned on multiple charges by the authorities in Pennsylvania, per Yahoo.

The charges include forgery, carrying a gun without a license, falsely identifying himself to law enforcement, tampering with records or identification, and possessing "instruments of crime."

Meanwhile, in New York, where the crime was committed, Mangione was charged with murder along with other charges, with plans for him to be extradited currently in motion.

In the meantime, he is being held at a Pennsylvania state prison after being denied bail.

The Suspected Killer, Luigi Mangione, Has Caused Heavy Debate Since The Shooting Incident

Mangione's alleged actions caused a major stir, with people, including celebrities, giving varying takes on what may have motivated him to kill the CEO.

During an episode of "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," TV host Stephen Colbert talked about the incident: "This story started tragic, but then it very quickly [became] weird because when authorities initially released security photos of the suspect, the internet reaction was swift and horny."

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel also had some thoughts on the matter. On his show, he joked, "I think we can all agree that no one could have imagined this suspect would have a name as funny as Luigi Mangione."

"With a lot of murderers — or alleged murderers — when you arrest them, you have to use the middle name. Like, we don't need Luigi Wayne Mangione, it's not necessary," he added, per Us Weekly.
