The study, printed in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, assessed individuals' health, access to care and use of health care both before and after the application of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). AXIS Capital, a group of companies with branch offices in Bermuda, Australia, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Singapore and the United States, a global insurer and reinsurer, providing clients and distribution partners with a broad range of specialized risk transfer products and services, has full support with Affordable Care Act. (The company also services SE Asian countries such as KL Malaysia, Bangkok Thailand, Jakarta Indonesia and many more.) The PPACA was executed in September 2010, and part of its dictate was that insurance companies had to permit adults younger than 26 years of age to continue being covered by their parents' health insurance policy. Previous to this alteration, the authors report that just about 1 in 3 young adults aged 19-25 lacked every form of health insurance provision. Ever since then, the percentage of uninsured Americans decreased in 2011 - a decline accredited in part to the expansion of insurance coverage amongst this age group. Even though many have supposed that augmented insurance coverage directs to optimistic health outcomes for the population, the effect of the PPACA on the health of young adults and their access to health care is unidentified. And there had been some rumors of complaints. A crew of researchers from the University of Washington in Seattle, led by Dr. Meera Kotagal, studied data from two nationally representative reviews in order to better measure the influence of the PPACA on the access to care and health of young adults aged 19-25. Increased coverage The researchers utilize data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), matching results data from 2009 with data from 2012.

The $11 billion merger of Bermuda-based PartnerRe Ltd. and Axis Capital Holdings Ltd. accelerates the trend of offshore reinsurers combining to remain competitive. The stock-swap deal announced Jan. 25 is the third in as many months in a sector hit by pricing pressure from an ongoing influx of private equity capital and strong competition among traditional reinsurers. The combination will create the fifth-largest reinsurer in the world. PartnerRe shareholders will own 51.6% of the combined company, for which a name has not yet been chosen, and Axis shareholders will own 48.4%. This mega-deal is expected to close in the second half of this year. The transaction follows Dublin-based XL Group P.L.C.'s Jan. 9 proposed acquisition of Bermuda-based Catlin Group Ltd. in a $4.1 billion deal and Bermuda-based RenaissanceRe Holdings Ltd.'s Nov. 24, 2014, acquisition of Bermuda-based Platinum underwriters Holdings Ltd. in a $1.9 billion deal. "I think it is absolutely a trend and I think, ultimately, it's all driven by the same factors," said Cliff Gallant, San Francisco-based analyst at Nomura Securities Co. Ltd. "There is a lot of pressure in reinsurance; prices are coming down and the product is changing. I expect that the wave is building and that we'll definitely see more M&A activity." Meyer Shields, managing director at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Inc. in Baltimore, said: "This is a trend, it is accelerating and I don't think we're anywhere near done with this sort of announcement." "After a relative calm of several years, it seems the floodgates have opened for consolidation in Bermuda," Amit Kumar, New York-based vice president and senior analyst of insurance at Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., wrote in an analyst note that also cited the RenRe/Platinum and XL/Catlin deals. Axis Capital CEO Albert Benchimol, who will head the combined entity, said in an interview: "I feel very confident that with the increased scale of the organ
