Yeah a sweetheart deal. My 270 a month plan didn't cover me for maternal care (I'm a dude). It was, like I said, for all intents and purposes a catastrophic plan that was never going to cover anything unless I had a major illness.
The fact that I had to pay 270 for that while a family of 5 was getting actual coverage for 432 means that a significant portion of my premium was being used to subsidize plans like his.
The ACA may not be great, it may not be better than before. But what existed before was no panacea and was obviously broken just as evidenced by this one paired example. Maybe I'm being selfish but I'm thrilled to have 80 bucks a month more in my pocket and to be getting coverage at least moderately commensurate to my premium.
