No. It did not. It couldn't have. The state-run exchange didn't even exist before the ACA. You really should read the article.
The premise of the exchanges was that competition would drive the costs down because insurers would want the huge pool of PTs... doesn't seem to be holding true... does it?

The difference now is that you can switch plans without worrying about pre-existing conditions keeping you from getting one.
Has literally NOTHING to do with this...
Selfish?
You bet'cha!
Self centered?
You bet'cha!
Harm of partisanship to the exclusion of progress?
You bet'cha!

Yeah, I thank my lucky stars every day knowing that any plan I choose will have maternity coverage
Well, unless your wife is past childbearing age, that may be something you would (theoretically) be interested in having in the future.
The real problem with maternity coverage is that it's a scam. The premiums and deductibles are so high now that if you have a routine pregnancy you'd be better off just paying out of pocket.

Well I don't have a wife or family plan, so please tell me why I need to have an insurance plan with paternity coverage

Yeah, I guess you wouldn't need it right now.
Bigger problem is still the fact that if insurance were allowed to be insurance, then a routine pregnancy wouldn't be covered--people would just have the insurance kick in if there were complications.

And let's not forget... the employer mandate hasn't even kicked in yet...
Imagine how bad the mid-terms would be for the Dems if the President hadn't postponed it until after the election. Let a story like this become a meme a week or two before the election and there will be lots of Dem members of Congress looking for jobs next year.
Unless something drastic changes before the 2016 elections, Obama will have given it to the GOP due to the shitstorm the employer mandate will cause.

Good. I hope it fricks Minnesota six ways to Sunday. I hope their rates quadruple. They voted for his arse twice and sent Al mf'ing Franken to congress. Let'em reap it.
