Facebook Photos Lead To Cancellation of Quebec Woman's Insurance

No. 24601 writes "A Quebec woman on long-term sick leave, due to a diagnosis of depression, lost her health benefits after her insurance provider found photos of her on Facebook smiling and looking cheerful at parties and out on the beach. Besides all the obvious questions, how did the insurance company access her locked Facebook profile?"

    Yet another reason why private healthcare must be stopped. Curing people doesn't come into it - it's about keeping them sick enough to stay profitable.

    Yet another reason socialized healthcare must be stopped. Curing people doesn't come into it - it's about keeping them slaves of the government to stay in power.

    Fixed that for you.

  2. DOESN'T CANADA HAVE PUBLIC HEALTH CARE? by tjstork · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm wondering, for a second here, why Canadians need to have private health insurance? I thought under Canadian law insurance companies were barred from insuring anything the government does. So does this mean that Canadian health insurance does not include mental health?

    How barbaric!

    Keep in mind insurance companies have a whole slew of their own "trusted" professionals that are on their pay role

    Pay role? Is that where you bribe the producer to give you a part in a movie?

    Keep talking out of your ass, and keep eating that shit. I don't have to prove anything to you, and it's clear you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
