Wegman’s, a grocery story chain, is a big deal around here. They’re regularly on the “Top 100 places to work” lists compiled by business magazines, because they pay well for a grocery store, offer benefits, and have a history of promoting from within. But this is ridiculous:
Some 10,000 people applied for 500 positions at a Wegmans slated to open next month.
About 500 new employees were hired from the applicant pool — a 5 percent acceptance rate.
By comparison, Harvard had an undergraduate acceptance rate of 5.8 percent in the most recent year.
This is from a story in the Philadelphia Business Journal about a Wegmans opening in Montgomery, PA. The story isn’t that Wegmans is as grand as Harvard and therefore is attracting applicants the way Harvard does. The story is that 10,000 people in Montgomery, PA are unemployed or underemployed, and even if they do get an entry-level job at Wegmans, they’ll still be working poor if they have a family.
And if they are working poor, they’re going to face another dilemma:
So the options we’ve been left with are this: both of us to work as much as possible, put the kids in daycare and lose healthcare, or keep our income at a level that at once facilitates a stay at home parent, ensures BadgerCare [Wisconsin Medicaid] and excludes our true earning potential, just for the sake of insurance of some kind. All in the name of if something should go wrong. Because if something big goes wrong or something bad happens, it’s not going to eat the savings — there isn’t any. We’ll go bankrupt and lose what little we have.
Obamacare will (hopefully) fix this problem by giving this family the option of insurance with premium support based on income. But someone got a 404 once on a page on healthcare.gov, so let’s be sure to focus on that instead.

You should watch the governor of Kentucky “debate” the governor of Ohio Obamacare on MTP.

It pains me to say that the Democratic Party seems to fight (I mean a real all-in struggle) for those trapped in poverty a whole lot less than they need to.
Humane reasoning indicates this is a fight that needs great effort, but it’s also essential for the future viability of this society. The level of commitment that one is willing to bring to the struggle against poverty and its effects tell me pretty much what I need to know about a political leader.
There is not a lot to be optimistic about.

Kasich has to walk a fine line, so it was probably to his benefit to go out and attack Obamacare, since he just adopted a huge chunk of Obamacare (essentially) by executive order. Don’t tell anyone though. We’re pretending it didn’t happen. I’m glad MPT was there to help with his re-election campaign.
I was wondering what the Ohio Tea Party would go to next now that they lost on Obamacare, and I have my answer. They’re trying to put Right To Work on the ballot.
The state GOP screwed them on Obamacare, and now they’re happily carrying water for the same anti-labor, establishment Republicans. I’m actually disappointed. I thought they’d come up with something slightly more creative, more edgy and mavericky.

Ditto for those stories about fundraisers for someone’s healthcare and whatnot. The local news always covers this stuff like it’s so great, they’re having a benefit concert for this little girl with leukemia, community coming together, rah rah. Except I hear these stories and I think, “yet another family going bankrupt because of healthcare costs. This shows why we need to fix our broken system, idiots!”

The Sierra Nevada Brewery here in Chico has a similar response when they have an ‘entry level’ type of job opening. They don’t hire 500 people at once, but I imagine the number of applicants/job opening ratio is similar.

I love me some Wegmans, but this is not unusual. Even craptastic employers like Walmart and fast food places are getting mobbed with applications. High unemployment is a feature, not a bug.

People with insurance get discount rates on drugs and medical services. So even if you never hit the limit on your deductible, you could very well save money due to the negotiated rates anyway.
Especially if a major portion of your premium is being paid by the IRS.

@magurakurin: Nonetheless, while I can accommodate and am reasonably comfortable with the increased healthcare costs I will be shouldering, I work with others who are not as fortunate. The system has gaps that will cause hardship for some while the many see real benefit.
With reference to the general topic of this thread, unfortunately until those gaps are addressed, some in the working poor will not see the benefits of ACA’s implementation.
TopClimber
@NobodySpecial: ACA also provides an assist with copays and deductibles for those at up to 250% of poverty level.
http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/features/insuring-your-health/2013/070913-michelle-andrews-on-cost-sharing-subsidies.aspx
If I am reading this citation correctly, it also seems to say that deductibles are charged progressively–that is, you pay the 30% deductible as you receive a 70% insurance benefit until you hit the max deductible (silver plan example). You don’t pay the deductible in full before getting any benefit.

Not that people don’t need jobs, but is maybe some portion of this big number due to applying online?

@Keith G: so what is your fucking point, that the ACA isn’t perfect? No shit sherlock. Every single person on this blog wanted/wants single payer, but we didn’t/couldn’t make it happen. But the ACA is a massive improvement. And even the folks who have to struggle to pay their subsidized premium will still find themselves much better off than being uninsured when they become sick. And it still doesn’t change the fact that the story above was from someone who was thrilled with the benefits that the ACA was providing them or the fact that the other asshole’s story was/is total bullshit.
WereBear
Precisely. As detailed in the article, these folks have two small children, and nothing else. Crummy car, secondhand clothes, no cell phones or vacations.
Perhaps this is fine with the Republicans, to have our working poor live so frugally and virtuously. But this family also does not contribute much to the greater economy, do they? They are very tiny on the scale of consumerism.
How can this please our overlords? Now they want to rip more money from the pockets of those who have a little more than this family… so they can become frugal and virtuous, too.

Another piece of data for the set – a Wegman’s that recently opened in Germantown, MD also received 10,000 applicants.
An important aspect to note, however, is Wegman’s policy of mailing flyers announcing job opportunities to a wide range of addresses at least 6-9 months prior to a store’s opening date. I received three mailers in total for the Germantown store, one of which was at least 9 months if not a full year before it opened. The high number of applicants still serves to highlight the number of un- or under-employed in the area, but the true value was likely lower given the period of time over which applications were accepted.

@TopClimber: I think it also depends on the plan you choose. Some have PCP visits with copays and the deductible for the bigger stuff.
As far the working poor it would help if they voted. I am not saying it’s necessarily easy but a lot of places have early/absentee voting. For the big elections its one day every two years. The Dems only need a few million more votes to take over the house.

On a related note, I noticed a spate of “real Americans” on the teevee machine over the last 24 hours bitching about having new insurance plants foisted on them which are now vastly more expensive because of new ACA coverage requirements. Particularly with respect to mental health care, preventative care, and other things only second-handing moochers want or need.
Um. I don’t know if it was voluntary, and the office person who could confirm it is busy this morning, but Florida Blue Cross added most of those things to our plan two years ago, and our premiums didn’t change that year. Not only that, but we were explicitly told our premiums went up less this year because the ACA puts a higher floor under the medical loss ratio.
Latest talking point?

I went shopping for plans on my state website and was actually quite impressed. I haven’t been able to get meaningful coverage in the past due to old injuries and here the cheapest plan covered all preexisting conditions and cost $256/mo
Low deductible Silver plans started at a bit over $300 .
I now am much more convinced that Obamacare will will cut costs, after seen the plans laid out on the exchange. I had around 40 choices. Who in hell is going to pay $450 for a bronze plan with a $5000 deductible from one provider when you can get a silver plan with a $750 deductible for $340 from another?

Now, that is a lot of folks that really can’t afford insurance coverage, yet the individual mandate will still apply. If they go with the penalty for not carrying insurance, wouldn’t that create a bunch of folks that the ‘Thugs can point at and scream about how horrible Obamacare is?
The failure to expand isn’t just evil, it’s an election tactic to show how bad the government is, forcing you to buy insurance or pay the scary IRS.

That is certainly where important battlelines are located. But “they” are not that monolithic. Folks in that situation need attention and weirdly enough, the Democrats speak to them as fellow citizens less than they should. One of Bill Clinton’s tremendous strengths was his ability to talk to the working poor in their language. Whether is was sincere or just salesmanship, it had in impact. But Bill has been the exception.
An important mentor of mine used to tell me, that to motivate and assist those who have less, it helps to meet them at their level. Trying to assist from afar will not ultimately work.
I think the Democrats can get more of those voters, not all, but we have to make a better effort – and we have to out hustle conservatives who have already been whispering in their ears.

@Glidwrith:
The individual mandate doesn’t apply.
It never did, but they clarified. The individual mandate is pegged to a percentage of income on premiums that is defined as “affordability”. If the policy is unaffordable as a percentage of income, the mandate drops out. It’s a function of how the law is written.
This matters to other people too, because if insurance premiums exceed “affordable” the mandate drops out. It’s the check on premiums for all of us. We don’t have to buy it if it exceeds “affordable”.

HAHAHAHA! What, this crap again?
Yes, this is exactly what the GOP needs to do — stay in the faces of these people year-round and keep pestering them and reminding them what assholes and delusional idiots the Republicans are. That’s just a wonderful idea.
Of course, the RNC and the rest of the GOP will never actually follow through with this latest version of “outreach.” That would entail coming in too-close contact with too many undesirables. And besides, these “outreach” “campaigns” are, I’m sure, just an excuse to move some money around within the RNC into someone’s pocket(s). Reince or one of his buddies must need a little extra scratch for a home remodeling project or a nice vacation.
Kay
@Glidwrith:
It works the other way, too. IF Medicaid is available AND the person doesn’t sign up for Medicaid, THEN affordable coverage is available to that person and the mandate penalty applies.
This is addressed in the law, because they have something called “presumptive coverage” in states that expanded Medicaid. If you don’t have Medicaid, but are eligible for Medicaid and go the hospital, the hospital (usually emergency room) will enroll you.

@Kay: Thank you very much Kay. That’s a relief to hear.
I have been chuckling lately over finding out that the yahoos saying they would rather pay the $95 IRS penalty are going to find out that it is $95 OR 1% of income, whichever is greater. And that the myth of folks being cut lower than 30 hours to avoid penalties won’t work anyway because hours are added up as an aggregate and anything over full time hours still is equivalent to a full time employee. Haw, Haw, Haw.

@Glidwrith:
I’m like a broken record on this, but we already know how mandates work, and it’s not just Massachusetts. States have insurance mandates that are part of child support. There the term of art is “reasonable”. You have to purchase health insurance for a minor child if it’s “reasonable” and you’re not married. The state mandate is actually harsher, because if it’s NOT reasonable, they simply take 5% of gross and add it to child support, as a “medical support order”. They’ve known for a long time they had to do something about uncompensated care. They started with kids, went to college students and now it’s everyone.

I pointed out that those cheap plans are crappy catastrophic plans that still left people facing bankruptcy after something bad happened because they simply don’t pay for much – that’s why they are cheap.

Note on the thousands of people applying for jobs at new box stores:
Many of these people already have jobs. Why? In grocery stores and such, shift assignments and promotions are based on seniority. If you are young, have no seniority where you are now, and thus little room to move up the ladder, it makes sense to jump to a new store opening up. Over time, you’ll always be one of the most senior employees.
Learned this from my mother in law who worked at a rural grocery store. A new box store was opening up and all the younger employees were applying. She was trying to decide if she was willing to give references.
