The insurance company is always the "winner," stupid. If they weren't, they wouldn't be in business.

With a high deductible the insurance company is likely to be the winner,.... Once again, as I just explained, you have it backwards. Money you pay in added premiums is a sunk cost. The only way you benefit is if you have lots of claims. But you only benefit short term because, if you have lots of claims, they up your premium in anticipation of more and more claims. If you were to win that game, it would be a fluke. Not a smart play.
