Joe Rogan Slams Health Insurance: ‘It’s A Giant Money Machine’ That’s Not Focused On Making You Better
The U.S. health care system is broken – at least, that's the view of many Americans, including podcast host Joe Rogan. On his show, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” he and comedian Duncan Trussell recently discussed why they think health insurance companies care more about making money than helping people.
“It’s not really about making you better,” Rogan said. “Making you better is what they sell, but it’s about making more money.”
