Is that what they do?
I have had BCBS for the last 12 years and haven't had any of those experiences. I pay EXACTLY what I agreed to pay in my contract with them. I recently had almost $200K worth of medical bills and several bills were paid by BCBS before I even got home. Meanwhile my personal doctor no longer accepts Medicare or Medicaid patients because the government always took MONTHS to pay him back for services rendered.

Ask anyone in an area that has a local government hospital if they are willing to be treated there and most people will tell you "No, HELL NO!".
