Probably the biggest reason people don't realize this is because it's not true. At all.
In the US, an adult is counted as unemployed if they do not have a job, have actively looked for work in the prior 4 weeks, and are currently available for work. It has nothing to do with whether their UI ran out.

No insurance company does this. As evidence, I submit your inability to identify a single insurer that denies all claims, an inability you will now demonstrate.
You don't know what you're talking about.
