Can anyone answer a question about Birth Control and Payments and all the controversy [View all]

According to this very fine article written way back in 2010, the following is the case:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2010/07/12/the-coming-battle-over-the-cost-of-birth-control.html

There are many confusing details about this no co-pay birth control policy that's why there are many concerned citizens who are against it. But despite of that there are many US citizens especially women who are approve of this policy. Starting in 2013, no insurance company will be able to charge co-pay for birth control, with specific exceptions. Contraception drugs won't cost any woman with health insurance any cash. The proof is here: Insurance companies cannot demand co-pays for birth control. Not all are happy about this new policy and two of them are the conservative groups and insurance companies but they can do nothing about it.

Note the section in Bold.

Does the recent brouhaha remove the 2013 provisions that state that there must not be any co-pays for contraception of any kind? Or not?

Any and all advice appreciated.
