Hot water after comments he made the play been distressed babies for changing the 401k program all said jury a companywide conference call. Here to way youd we have our power panel. And paul howard senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute he added moms to the staff we have to do that had distressed babies that we paid 1 billion each to be sure they were okay in these are the things that add up to benefit cost so i made the decision to change the 401k plan. Critical of their decision to give employees less benefits. Do you have a problem with what mr. Armstrong had to say . As i understood in it he was playing obamacare with the increased cost rather the individual situation. That caught cost is indisputable obamacare is costing them millions of dollars. So what he was saying is the Employee Health premiums have to go up or they have to cut the batching. So the company and the employees a of the culprit is obamacare. Gerri there are other sources for those funds. You were not a favor and . You thought it was bad form . To make you dont want to single out any individual employee for health care. It could even be a federal violation classic case of foot in mouth spicule party as opposed to disclose as clues medical liberation about employees. Gerri they give all the trouble we go through here to Keep Personal Information in separate addon that call today there were probably a couple bevan who were very upset. I thought the same thing right away privately have been very upset. I did not hear the details of it was an end to have babies because theoretically they are involved and covered because of the mail but it is possible people do who they were. Theoretically that would be hipaa violation. Bb Tim Armstrong is not the best benefits manager brett fight is any company in a position to be so critical of health care . Going back to world war ii price regulations so this is the fundamental cause some courage words but government involvement under health care. Ups, a target, a university of virginia, companies have said health costs are going up specifically because of obamacare. Then why not say Health Care Costs are going up . We have to offset with 401k. We have to make a Business Case decisions. I am not certain he can tie all these to obamacare. For the last few years while Health Care Premiums have been going down for a middle businesses they are going up or stay the same. Said you have a variety of cost related to obamacare like a Preventative Care or things that are good for employees long term. We have to let this shakeout gerri i hear that but i agree obamacare cost are out of control absolutely. Tim armstrong has foot in mouth syndrome like i have never seen. Here he calls on the employees he will fire in the conference call. They think it is a joke if you want to joke around you should pick up your stuff a you believe today i will be very specific, from experience, put that camera down right now. You are fired. Of. You just never hear this because nobody ever does this except possibly tim armstroog. It is not the good readers and style to be rate to employees and a public manner i am not an aol shareholder but the italy is in the competitive environment but with government breathing down its back. Gerri broadly i was asking the question how is aol even on the hook . You explained why that babies. Companies self insured to play all their own medical bills through the administrator. Aol s of the folks for premium reinsurance attacks also a new Government Agency that works on comparative effectiveness so they are real cost that aol will pay. Gerri but aol revenue is up 13 the stock is on fire but yet the employees are not happy. We object to the manner that this practice was disclosed some significant changes especiallespeciall why resulting in a pay reduction should not be buried in fine print but it spoke about openly. So the idea of 401k dial back this came out some time ago and was buried . Employees are not happy . I see that has been the problem with the Affordable Care at all along we still dont have a sense of what is happening. It and we both know businesses dont like it. Obamacare he use a the ramifications here in the Conference Calls of aol dealing with all these uncertainties. Gerri i believe now employees are befuddled a and confused. To m armstrong has some confusion but it goes to the bottom line. Because Health Care Cost employees rather than using Medicare Coverage under the Affordable Care act. On the heels they stepped on his own message. We did not get a chance to talk about the positive things in pat is a lot of things are covered preventative play that in the long run i hope will make costco down but every dont know yet.
