If it’s not up to health insurers to limit healthcare spending, then which organizational role in the healthcare system do you think is appropriate to place this responsibility with?

Elected representatives answerable to their constituents would be a vast improvement in health outcomes.

Yeah. They should manage the organization that directly decides, like the current arrangement with CMS managing Medicare.
