... who - making under $100k/yr - can cough up $6K for a DEDUCTIBLE? That makes the coverage essentially useless.

My last employer's plan had a $3K deductible & when I had my tubes tied, of course I got billed for $3k plus 20% co-pay (another $1600) and it took me over a year to pay it off. The only thing having insurance did was delay the billing long enough for me to come up with a plan.
