No it won't. My HSA has amassed more than the deductible. The money I would have put into a low deductable plan has gone into the HSA, so it has cost me no more.

The danger period is the first 6 months where you may not have amassed more than the deductible and so you may find yourself out of pocket for up to 6 months.

We 'knew' cholesterol was bad for you until they did the intervention studies and found the opposite to be true. Unless you do the science properly, you cannot know.
You draw an implicit association between decreased reaction time and fatal crashes. Do we know that to be true? I've not notice needing fast reaction on the vast majority of my drives. Are they stating relative risk or absolute?

I smell statistical bullshit with an agenda behind it.

An 'association' is not a number that you can use to reliably infer facts. There can be confounding variables. What if people drink and drive more at night and darkness is a contributor to fatal crashes? If you don't control that variable, they you would make the wrong inference about alcohol. There are many variables to driving safety. So a decent inference would require a huge study that controlled many variables and the correlation numbers were from multivariate analysis rather than 2 variable correlations.
