The "distressed babies" line was incredibly lame. First, statistically, a company with thousands of workers will have some people with expensive health problems and get hit with some insurance surcharges. It sucks, but it's how today's system is. Second, even if it weren't so, it's hard for it not to sound like you're blaming babies. It's beyond sleazy at a human level, which is what got him, publicity-wise. And, not entirely unrelatedly, it's the sound of a CEO trying not to take responsibility for what happens at their company, which is always a bad sign. </picking-on-easy-targets>
