Blue Cross Blue Shield has some plans that might work in that range. It puts a limit on the # of times you see a doc a year, not sure if that will work with a newborn, but worth checking the website for a quote.

Good health insurance varies by the state. In my state, Blue Cross/Blue shield is the best bet for individually purchased insurance, but the same company sucks in other states. Post your state and you might get more helpful answers.
Note: a $1000 deductible with 80/20 pay means that you pay ALL medical care for the first $1000 dollars during the year. After that, the insurance company pays for 80% of the bill and you pay $20. This continues until the next year, where you start again with the first 1000 dollars.
