Why should the government dictate what things health insurance covers at all?

Because big business will go out of it's way to screw you over if they think it will raise their profits and because it's the government job to protect it's citizens, not only from other nation states but from billion dollar companies that want to bleed us dry.
So, according to your logic, a car insurance company should be able to deny claims based on whatever reason they fancy, say refuse to pay for accidents involving red cars?
I love how all the right wingers clamor about the free market as if we the people were better off back in the day with monopolies and steel barons, before minimum wage, labor laws, and workers rights. Why should the government dictate who you can hire and how long they can work? I say employers should be able to hire 10 year olds and force them to work 16 hour days for 10 cents an hour!

Such a statement would imply that if you went to the gas station and had the option of paying $3/gal or MAYBE SOMEDAY IF I VIOLATE THE LAW I MAY HAVE TO PAY $4/gal for the exact same gasoline

I think thats more applicable to what your actually trying to argue. Your point, however, ignores the fact that by not hiring women the would still risk litigation for unfair hiring practicises. You can try and word it any way you want, but what you're saying is people shouldn't hire women if they have to pay them the same wage as men.
