Health insurance covering male maternity care is a complete no-op. It adds no benefit, but it never costs health care companies either. So it shouldn't cause a premium rate rise so is a bit irrelevant.
I get the feeling it was cited as an example to make the reforms look stupid, even though it doesn't actually have any negatives.
