The change to the policy would have been understandable if Armstrong blamed it on the financial hit the company took for his $200 million blunder with Patch. He could have apologized and taken a pay cut himself, and most people would have been understanding and possibly even praised him.
Blaming it on Obamacare is a pointless political statement, and publicly blaming it on sick babies means Armstrong is a sociopathic asshole.
