After learning what happened to a friend I've been forced to believe that for some health insurers the terms 'divorced' and 'separated' mean all the same?

Well, are you asking about continuation of benefits under the auspices of COBRA 1985 (employer-sponsored group benefit plans covering 20 or more full time employees)?

If so, then, yes, "divorce or legal separation of the employee" is qualifying event with a 36 month maximum period of continuation privilege.

In any other circumstance, the contract may have something else to say about it, and so does Obamacare.

(And sometimes the lawyers have to get their 2 cents' worth in, too.)
