and here is the important line from your link:

In an undated memo to employees, UPS (UPS) said it will discontinue coverage for all working spouses who are eligible for insurance with their own employer


This stops the practice of a spouse having double coverage via their own and their spouse's employer both being available. If the spouse is either not employed or not eligible for employer based health insurance then spousal coverage is provided by UPS Thus no one is loosing coverage. No one.

and from the Bloomberg article a very careful explanation that fewer than 10% of its part time workers signed up for Target health plans and that was significant as under the ACA if you are eligible (not if you are covered) for an employer plan you cannot get the subsidy that is used for lessening the cost of insurance via the exchange. So the whole story is that many millions of Americans who were uninsured now have health insurance because of the ACA. Some lost double coverage. Overall that sounds like a great big win for America
