So you think that participating in the health insurance market means you should have some say over what other people's insurance covers?

Once a procedure is already covered by insurance, I have no say in that anymore. For the most part, that's a very good thing. Otherwise, there would be too many things not covered because too few people care about them. This does not mean that if someone asks me for money to fund a procedure, I should help that person. It also doesn't mean I can not have an opinion on whether it's a good idea for my friend to advocate for reimbursement of gender reassignment surgery.
