I'd like to see a link for where Hawaii is exempt. The only thing I can find with my google-fu is where Hawaii is exempt from those areas where the state law is "stronger". There is a lot more to this 2,000 page document past "your boss has to pay for your insurance".

Yes, but the bulk of the volume is about regulating insurance companies, such as how they are required to accept individuals who don't have insurance through their employer, subsidies for people to buy insurance, and changes to Medicare and Medicaid. One of the provisions is that any company with over 50 employees provide health insurance, and Hawaii has had an employer mandate for a long time (1950's maybe?). I believe Hawaii's law is stronger on that.
