It is initially funny to me but come to think of it, should a depressed person pose lonely and drunk and post it in facebook so the insurance will not cut her benefits? Which court of law honors facebook postings as evidence? None I think, so how come her benefits has been cut. Hope she gets justice she deserves and that she gets well

thank you for sharing your thoughts . but there is proof that she isn't so sick to avail of the "long term sick leave". however, the fact that it was in facebook doesn't diminish it's value as proof. happy mylotting .

I think that this is ridiculous. First of all, she should not have put those pictures on Facebook, those photos are incriminating, but since she did it, I don't think that she should have lost her benefits over it. Her insurance company had no right to do that to her.
