I have no idea how this keeps her insured. In most of America, after 1 year of medical leave your job can be terminated.

I truly believe the parent comment is straight up lying lmao, no job is going to keep you employed for more than a few days without an explanation, and insurance benefits end the month the employer terminates you.

Man, I wish I was lying. I'd still have my friend.

I don't remember if it was her insurance or his, or what those details are. She and I have spoken of him, but not of the insurance information. Keeping things vague makes it less internet-friendly, but the story stands, and it sucks.

Yeah, if it was my friend's wife, I wouldn't be digging into those details either. Even if she's completely in lala land about the reasoning, whatever it takes to deal with that pain. Not my place to challenge that.
