I'm surprised the company (not the insurance) had to pay that much for the babies medical bills.

I had a friend die to leukemia a year ago (she had just turned 27). 6 months prior to that, her first month in Stanford Hospital for chemo led to a bill to the insurance on the order of one million dollars.

I don't know how much the insurance billed the company (a small one without AOL's income), but they upheld it.

Tim Armstrong is the same CEO who last year fired Abel Lentz, chief creative officer of Patch, on the spot during his company-wide layout call [1]. I'm inclined to label him a Gordon Gekko-level psychopath.
