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?"

I'm not biting the bullet by myself. Wellbutrin is the greatest thing ever invented and I've got no problem writing out the 2 cents per paycheck to the FEds or my insurance so that people that need psych meds can get them. Without meds, its just aweful.

I hope you remember this when you think about the healthcare debate.
Many healthcare providers refuse to cover or severely limit coverage for depression, one more reason a public option is needed to keep them honest.

It's the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter - approximately 3.14, though it's an irrational (and transcendental) number.
