I think the knife in the back is the way that Blue Cross and other insurance companies force health care providers like hospitals and doctors to charge them a roughly 50% lower rate than they charge everybody else. This is yet another way they “lower” the cost of health care by shafting people who pay out of their own pocket. In a situation like that, the person needing to make a decision about his own health care has to sign up for a similar insurance plan to defend himself against the mandated price gouging of the insurance companies.
