Red-Hot Bruins Go 6-0 On Homestand, Extend Point Streak To 19 Games
Much like the Celtics, I neglected to write about the Bruins for an entire week. But here I am now, making up for it.
Last Saturday's 1-0 win against the New Jersey Devils on Brad Marchand's early goal in his 666th game was the last recap I wrote. That win pushed the Bruins' point streak to 16 games.
Now, the streak's at 19 games, following three more wins to wrap up a perfect 6-0 homestand.
Here were the match-ups and scores of Boston's last three games:
Tuesday, 3/5: 4-3 overtime win vs Carolina Hurricanes
Thursday, 3/7: 4-3 win vs Florida Panthers
Saturday, 3/9: 3-2 win vs Ottawa Senators
Boston is now four games shy of tying their longest point streak in franchise history at 23 games, set during the 1940-41 season. Additionally, their perfect homestand marked just the second time they've swept one of at least six games in franchise history (last season).
On Tuesday, David Krejci netted the overtime winner against the Hurricanes, who were playing in vintage Hartford Whaler throwback jerseys:

Brandon Carlo had a very notable game, recording a career-high nine shots on goal, breaking his previous high of five (had done twice). Carlo didn't have more than four shots in any game this season, which he'd done four times.
Thursday may have been the win of the season so far. Trailing in the final minute with 37 seconds to go, Matt Grzelcyk tied it up on the power-play with second goal of the season. 30 seconds later, Patrice Bergeron sealed it, scoring for the second time on the night and 25th time on the season:
Grizzy for the tie.
Bergy for the win.

The win was a historic one:
Per NHL stats, tonight's win marked just the second time in team history that we've overcome a deficit in the final minute and won in regulation.
The first came on Dec. 4 1986. @RayBourque77 had the winner with one second to play.#NHLBruins pic.twitter.com/GtM2pkxw93
Yesterday, the Senators were in town; and for the third straight game, the Bruins had to come from behind to win. Ottawa scored the first goal of the third period to take a 2-1 lead, before Chris Wagner (11th) and David Krejci (18th) ended any Senator hopes at a win. Wagner's goal came 11:23 to go, and Krejci's came with 45 seconds left:

The Bruins are now 42-17-9, 15 points behind the Lightning for first place, and four points ahead of the Maple Leafs for third place in the East.
Boston looks to extend their streak to 20 tonight in Pittsburgh as they take on the Penguins (36-23-9) at 7:30 pm ET.

Obama, Cruz, and Catiline
By Amy Davidson Sorkin
All week, Republicans have been talking about President Barack Obama's immigration plan in the language of emergency. "We will not stand idle as the President undermines the rule of law in our country and places lives at risk." John Boehner, the Speaker of the House, said Friday. Kevin McCarthy, the House Majority Leader, called the plan a "brazen power grab," according to the Times. Earlier, Senator Tom Coburn said, in an interview with USA Today, "The country's going to go nuts, because they're going to see it as a move outside the authority of the president, and it's going to be a very serious situation." He added, "You're going to see—hopefully not—but you could see instances of anarchy.... You could see violence."
And Senator Ted Cruz delivered a variation Cicero's oration against Catiline and his co-conspirators, from 63 B.C., substituting Obama's name for Catiline's, "the border" for the Palatine Hill, and the I.R.S. for Caius Servilius Ahala. "The words of Cicero, powerfully relevant two thousand and seventy-seven years later," Cruz said. The National Review's Daniel Halper quoted an e-mail he'd received from a Cruz aide saying that the speech was "almost verbatim to how it was given almost 2200 years ago. It is incredible how accurately this narrative applies to today." Which part of the "narrative"? Here is the key passage in Cicero's original, with some tricky phrases in bold:
The senate is aware of these things; the consul sees them; and yet this man lives. Lives!... And we, gallant men that we are, think that we are doing our duty to the republic if we keep out of the way of his frenzied attacks.
You ought, O Catiline, long ago to have been led to execution by command of the consul. That destruction which you have been long plotting against us ought to have already fallen on your own head.
And here is Ted Cruz, would-be consul:
The senate is aware of these things; the Senate sees them; and yet this man dictates by his pen and his phone. Dictates!... And we, gallant men and women that we are, think that we are doing our duty to the republic if we keep out of the way of his frenzied attacks.
You ought, President Obama, long ago to have been led to defeat by your own disdain for the people. That destruction which you have been long plotting ought to have already fallen.
Cruz then elides an anecdote Cicero tells about how Publius Scipio Nasica "in his capacity of a private citizen, put to death Tiberius Gracchus" when Tiberius, relative to Cataline, had only "slightly" undermined the Constitution. (Cicero calls Nasica, who led a mob that beat Tiberius to death and threw his body and those of many of his allies into the Tiber, "illustrious.") He does include the question Cicero takes from that story, with a name change: "Shall we, who are the Senate, tolerate President Obama?**" **And then actually verbatim:
There was—there was once such virtue in this republic, that brave men would repress mischievous citizens with severer chastisement than the most bitter enemy.
Ultimately, Cicero suggests that it would be best for all concerned if Catiline and his friends went into exile, permanently. ("Purge the city of your presence!") That might count as moderation. And Cruz is not only an extremist but a calculator and a bit of an absurdist; he edits for deniability even as he smiles with disdain. The sheer tackiness of doing a Cicero knockoff on the Senate floor feels almost like a defense. Still, the Catiline oration is quite a speech to hold up and praise as fitting.
There is an echo of the idea of the President as a "mischievous citizen" in Boehner's comments about Obama "playing with fire." The Republicans alternately suggest that he is something of a devil or a child, with powers that should never have been put in his hands. "He needs to understand something," Senator Mitch McConnell, the new majority leader, said." If President Obama acts in defiance of the people and imposes his will on the country, Congress will act." By most accounts, McConnell and other Party leaders are trying to figure out how to handle the legislators in their ranks who won't be happy with anything but impeachment, which is as close as we get to banishment these days.
The rhetoric is particularly striking in light of what President Obama has actually done, which, constitutionally speaking, is not much. He announced, in his speech Thursday night, that he would use an executive order to defer the deportation of the parents of American citizens and permanent residents who had not been convicted of a crime, as well as people who had been brought to this country illegally as children and had lived within the law since—the "Dreamers." These people will also be able to apply for work permits, bringing their lives more in line with the law. As John Cassidy has written, all of Obama's recent predecessors in the White House have used executive orders in the same way, to defer the deportation of certain groups. Indeed, as Walter Dellinger points out at Slate, Congress has passed legislation requiring the President to set "priorities" for deportation; it did so because it has not approved enough money or resources to enforce immigration laws in a blanket, unrelenting way. Even if it had, doing so would transform the country into something like an armed camp on the Palatine Hill. What Obama has done is make sure that when millions of people drive to Thanksgiving dinners with their relatives they will do so with less secrecy and less fear.
It is hard to picture this as a crisis—as anarchy. The talk from the Republicans of violence leaves some questions open: Who do they expect to instigate it, and at whom do they imagine it would or ought to be directed? There was a crowd in the street near the White House the morning after the speech, made up of Dreamers who were crying and embracing each other. Thankfully, no one was there to chase them out of the city.

Nigeria's indebtedness to Igala Kingdom
By Theophilus Abbah, PhD
The Federal High Court in Lokoja set tongues wagging, dogs barking and goat bleating when on June 2, 2020, after examining incontrovertible evidence, the court recited the contents of Nigeria's history to declare that the country is indebted to ancient Igala Kingdom. That debt in cowries, now to be paid in Naira, is approximately N10 billion. As it is the tradition of those who talk, scream and abuse others before they think, many commentators who are either ignorant or have forgotten how Igala provided the heath of fire for them to warm their bodies when heavily beaten in the rain, have poured invectives on Attah Igala and Igala people in general. Leading the gang is Governor Yahaya Bello, who, strangely, came out of his shell to label the court judgment and demand for compensation as "imperialism." Imperialism, according to the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary, is "a system in which one country controls other countries, often after defeating them in a war." This term wears a dirty garb, because of its inherent negative connotation. Such a strong language against a traditional institution under his control is a loud testament to the measure of love Governor Yahaya Bello has in his belly for Igalaland.
Having cast the first stone, Governor Bello opened the floodgate for other murderers to shoot and hack down the Igala race, especially on the social media. One Maigari of Lokoja described Attah Igala as "ignorant, overambitious, barbaric." Unfortunately, the Maigari only displayed his own attributes when he used those unnecessary adjectives to paint Attah Igala in the context of the court judgment. Then, the man who should know better, Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, invoked the imagery of warfare when he said they would "defeat Igala in battle for Ajaokuta without sword, guns." Other characters on the social media over-stretched their imagination by advising Governor Bello to depose Attah Igala Michael Ameh Oboni to install an Attah that will be compliant and complacent, arguing that the formula had worked in previous dribbling of Igala people on the pitch of politics. While all these vile are being poured on his kingdom, His Royal Majesty has maintained his silence, refusing to jump into the mud to struggle with them. However, as Igala would put it, the nodding of a lizard does not mean everything is fine.
The Main Issue
For those who clearly understand pre-colonial Nigeria's political, social and economic setting, the Federal High Court judgment was not a snake bite or the stinging of bees – they are not in any way shocked. For instance, the Ibo nation is not in denial of their ancient, precolonial relationship with the Igala kingdom, and the imprint is not denied in Anambra State where, up till today, there is a sizeable portion of communities with Igala ancestry. Igbo trader sknew that their routes to access the old Kwararafa kingdom ran through the confluence of Rivers Niger and Benue at Lokoja. The river flows through that space into the Atlantic Ocean. Historical evidence bears the fact that Igala kingdom was founded by two brothers, Igala and Bunda (Kakanda). While Igala was based at Idah, Kakanda had his base at Okuta Ihabe, which was to later become a stone market (Ajaokuta). Today, there is a sizeable population of aboriginal Igala, who are led by Onu Igala at Ajaokuta. His reign is older than that of Ebira traditional head in the area.
Several sources state that the Chronicles of Abuja spoke of the extensive influence of Idah over the Abuja territories – Umaisha, Toto, Koton Karfi, and even Abaji. In their work, Narrative of the Expedition to the River Niger, William Allen and T.R.H. Thompson explained that as at 1841, "The Ata was King of the Igala state, with its capital at Idah, at this time an important commercial centre on the Niger, with historic connexions southwards with Benin and northwards with Nupe." The authors showed how powerful Attah was in 1841, when His Royal Majesty rejected a gift brought to him by explorers from the Queen of England, and refused an offer to travel by boat to England to meet the Queen to discuss trade relations, saying those were activities that 'servants' carried out.
Because the sea was the means of transportation and the link between them and Niger Area, European traders had to establish trade and diplomatic ties with the king in control of the great rivers, and, in that era, the king was Attah Igala. To express the depth of the relationship, the colonialists built a seaport and an airstrip at Idah, the headquarters of the Igala State. Before the Nigerian civil war began in 1967, Idah had a thriving seaport, preferred by European traders to the port at Lokoja. The port had to be closed as a result of bomb attacks from Biafra army. The aerodrome constructed at Idah was put out of use because of the war. For traders from Europe, Idah port was strategic for transporting palm oil and palm kernel from Igbo and Igalaland, on the one hand, and for moving cotton from Hausaland to their continent. Even in the 1960s, Idah was a thriving port city. The government of the late President Umar Musa Yar'adua/Goodluck Jonathan awarded a contract to revive the port, but the project was not completed. In the book, Nigerian Perspectives: An Historical Anthology, by Thomas Hodghin, the author alluded to the fact that Igala kingdom stood erect in comparison with the ancient Benin Kingdom, Oduduwa Kingdom, Hausa Kingdom, and the Bonny's King Opubu.
In the precolonial era, the political arrangement was more like a confederacy. Confederacy is a political system in which different ethnic communities or peoples come under one authority in order to pursue a common aim. The Kwararafa Kingdom was very large, but it was because other ethnic communities, accepted to come under the reign of the Aku Uka, in order to be protected from enemies who might wage war against them. In this way, the ethnic communities around the confluence came under the umbrella of the Attah whose army was powerful enough to protect them from invaders, including Fulani Jihadists, who had swept through Hausaland to install Fulani emirs in place of traditonal chiefs. The evidence of this military might command by the army of Attah Igala is there for anyone to see – in all the territories around the confluence river, there is no emir or emirate. If the Fulani possesses any political power in this area today, it is simply as a result of modern political arrangements.
The indebtedness. An Igala proverb says "a barren woman does not suffer child bereavement." If the British had paid up the full sum of 700,000 cowries, nobody would have been nagging about 'Igala imperialism' in 2020. No matter how rich a man is, he hardly forgets those who are indebted to him. That is what is playing out in the courts today. Historically, the Quaker Society of London, a missionary organization, which had campaigned against slavery sought to use the land from Ajaokuta to Lokoja as a model farm to halt slave trade. Slaves were taken to Europe to work on plantations. The Quakers argued that it would be better for Africans to, in their own country, plant those crops for which they were enslaved in Europe, and export the produce by sea to Europe, instead of being dehumanized as slaves in foreign lands. Those who want to know more about the Quakers can read up the roles these missionaries played in the fight to halt slave trade. The Queen of Great Britain and Ireland signed the Deed, while a representative of Attah also signed. Though the model farm project thrived for some years, it was thwarted by the activities of Fulani Jihadists who raided the farms. But the colonial government used Lokoja as Nigeria's first administrative headquarters – without paying up the balance for the land. Incidentally, people from all walks of life came to settle in Lokoja under the new political arrangement, which has subsisted up till the present day.
Unless they have decided to play the ostrich, all traditional institutions in Kogi State are not ignorant of this historical fact. In Igala, there is a proverb which says, "if you own a property but are afraid to claim it, then it is not yours." Like every government, the institution of Attah is a continuum. The indebtedness to Attah Igala in 1841 is an indebtedness to Attah Igala in 2020. In the same manner, the debt owed by colonial government that gave birth to the current system of government is a debt that hangs on the neck of the Buhari administration. What the court has asked the federal government to pay Attah Igala is a domestic debt. Though the transaction is over 200 years old, a debt is a debt, unless it is negotiated and written off. It is in this sense that Africans are seeking reparation from today's Europe and America over slave trade that ended almost 200 years ago. In 2020, Namibians are seeking reparation from German government, for material damages and loss of lives that occurred during Germany's colonial rule from 1884 to 1915. In America, there are deliberate policies to provide reliefs of all kinds to aboriginal Red Indians, who were displaced for modern America to be established.
In contemporary Nigeria, the Land Use Act gives governors control over land, but if such land is being used for projects in the interest of the public, compensation must be paid to the 'traditional owners' of such land. So, why must Attah Igala be shot down for seeking the repayment of an old debt? Some traditional institutions want to appeal the Federal High Court judgment. Not exactly because they have a stake; not because Attah is asking them to be evacuated from Lokoja and Ajaokuta. No. Their intention is to do the impossible – alter history, fight the past. May God grant us wisdom to pick the battles we fight.

Royal Academy of Åbo 1640–1828
The first predecessor of the university, The Cathedral School of Åbo, was presumably founded in 1276 for education of boys to become servants of the Church. As the university was founded in 1640 by Queen Christina of Sweden (1626–1689) in Turku(Sw. Åbo). It was the third university founded in the Swedish Empire.
Imperial Alexander University in Finland 1828–1919
The second period of the University's history covers the period when Finland was a Grand Duchy of the Russian Empire, from 1809 to 1917. As Finland became part of the Russian Empire in 1809, Emperor Alexander I expanded the University and allocated substantial funds to it. Following the Great Fire of Turku in 1827, higher education within the country was moved to Helsinki, the new administrative heart of the Grand Duchy, in 1828, and renamed the Imperial Alexander University in Finland in honour of the late benefactor of the University. In the capital the primary task of the University was to educate the Grand Duchy's civil servants. The University became a community subscribing to the new Humboldtian ideals of science and culture, studying humanity and its living environment by means of scientific methods.
The Alexander University was a centre of national life that promoted the birth of an independent Finnish State and the development of Finnish identity. The University became a major center of Finnish cultural, political, and legal life in 19th century Finland, and became a remarkable primum mobile of the nationalist and liberal cultural movements, political parties, and student organisations.
In the 19th century university research changed from being collection-centred to being experimental, empirical, and analytical. The more scientific approach of the university led to specialisation and created new disciplines. As the scientific disciplines developed, Finland received ever more scholarly knowledge and highly educated people, some of whom entered rapidly evolving industry or the government.
University of Helsinki 1919–present
The third period of the university's history began with the creation of the independent Republic of Finland in 1917, and with the renaming of the university as the University of Helsinki. Once Finland gained her independence in 1917 the University was given a crucial role in building the nation state and, after World War II, the welfare state. Members of the academic community promoted the international relations of the new state and the development of its economic life. Furthermore, they were actively involved in national politics and the struggle for equality.
In the 20th century, scholarly research at the University of Helsinki reached the level of the European elite in many disciplines.
After World War II, University research focused on improving Finnish living conditions and supporting major changes in the structure of society and business. The University also contributed to the breakthrough of modern technology.
The progress of scientific development created many new disciplines and faculties. At present the University comprises 11 faculties, 500 professors and almost 40,000 students. The University has established as its goal to further its position as one of Europe's top multidisciplinary research universities.
University of Helsinki is ranked at 67th in the world by the 2015 Academic Ranking of World Universities published by Shanghai Jiao Tong University. According to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings for 2016, the University of Helsinki is ranked at 76th overall in the world. In 2014 THE–QS World University Rankings list, the University of Helsinki was ranked 67th.
The University of Helsinki defines quality as expedient operations and high-quality results. The University's quality culture manifests itself in the high commitment of the staff and students to their work and studies.

Q: В чем вести / генерировать тех. документацию API растущего проекта? Пишем немаленький проект. Растет число разработчиков, ролей, серверов, протоколов. Хочется иметь четкую, хорошо форматированную документацию, как, например, у Google : )
В чём, и как её лучше вести и генерировать html?
A: Зависит от того, что именно вы хотите.
Если вопрос об удобном формате для написания документации, то попробуйте AsciiDoc/AsciiDoctor. Это plain-text формат, напоминающий Markdown и вики-разметку. Он позволяет отделить текст документации от шаблона оформления (приятные шаблоны "из коробки") и умеет собираться и в HTML, и в PDF, и в DocBook, и по всякому. Активно развивается инфраструктура вокруг него. Его удобно хранить в контроле версий (это plain-text формат, который легко диффать и мержить) и работать с ним как с исходным кодом документации.
Если вопрос о готовой системе хранения документации и совместной работы - посмотрите Atlassian Confluence: довольно приятная штука, много плагинов, интегрируется как с инфраструктурой Atlassian (багтерекер JIRA, билдсервер Bamboo, и т.п.) так и с популярными тулами вроде Balsamiq Mockups.
Еще доводилось пользоваться для этой цели MediaWiki, но у нее, как мне кажется, порог вхождения выше.
Если речь об автоматизации документирования всяких REST API, то я не так давно в ходе поисков нашел отличную вещь - Swagger. Этот проект представляет собой попытку стандартизировать описание REST службы в виде набора xml/json-документов, на основе которых можно сгенерить как "живую" online (с возможностью подергать сервисы прямо со страницы) так и обычную offline-документацию, и заглушки для клиентской части под разные языки.
A: Пишу документацию/справочник по разрабатываемой системе.
Тоже озадачился, на чем это делать.

''Orlando Furioso'' is 'one of the most influential works in the whole of European literature' and it remains an inspiration for writers to this day. Orlando Furioso was a major influence on Edmund Spenser's epic The Faerie Queene. William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing takes one of its plots (Hero/Claudio/Don John) from Orlando Furioso (probably via Spenser or Bandello) . In 1592, Robert Greene published a play called ''The Historie of Orlando Furioso''. According to Barbara Reynolds, the English poet the closest in spirit to Ariosto is Lord Byron. There have been several verse translations of Orlando Furioso into English. The first one was by John Harington, published in 1591. William Huggins' and Henry Boyd's translations were published in 1757 and 1784, respectively. John Hoole's 1783 translation used rhyming couplets. William Stewart Rose produced an eight-volume translation beginning publication in 1823 and ending in 1831. Barbara Reynolds published a verse translation in 1975, and an extremely abridged verse translation by David Slavitt was published in 2009. - - - [the previous comment (box below) and the present one are adaptations from Wikipedia]
the romance epic ''Orlando Furioso'' (1516***) by Ludovico Ariosto [sort of a continuation of Matteo Maria Boiardo's unfinished romance ''Orlando Innamorato'' (''Orlando in Love'', published posthumously in 1495) ] describes the adventures of Charlemagne, Orlando, and the Franks as they battle against the Saracens with diversions into many sideplots. The poem is divided into forty-six cantos, each containing a variable number of eight-line stanzas in ottava rima (a rhyme scheme of abababcc) . Ottava rima had been used in previous Italian romantic epics, including Luigi Pulci's Morgante and Boiardo's Orlando Innamorato. Ariosto's work is 38,736 lines long in total, making it one of the longest poems in European literature. Ariosto introduced also narrative commentary throughout the work. The poem exerted a wide influence on later culture. ***Ariosto began working on the poem around 1506, when he was 32. The earliest version appeared in 1516. A second edition appeared in 1521 with minor revisions. The poem was not published in its complete form until 1532.


June 8, 2012, New York, NY--In 2011, 13.7 million young adults ages 19 to 25 stayed on or joined their parents' health plans, including 6.6 million who would likely not have been able to do so before passage of the Affordable Care Act, according to a new Commonwealth Fund report.
However, not all young adults have parents with health plans they can join, and many still experience gaps in coverage and face medical bill problems and medical debt. Nearly two of five (39%) young adults ages 19 to 29 went without health insurance at some time in 2011, and more than one-third (36%) had medical bill problems or were paying off medical debt. Of those who reported problems with medical bills or debt, many faced serious financial consequences such as using all of their savings (43%), being unable to make student loan or tuition payments (32%), delaying education or career plans (31%), or being unable to pay for necessities such as food, heat, or rent (28%).
The report, Young, Uninsured and in Debt: Why Young Adults Lack Health Insurance and How the Affordable Care Act Is Helping, finds that 13.7 million young adults stayed on or joined their parent's health plans from November 2010 to November 2011, with about half of those likely gaining coverage because of the provision in the Affordable Care Act requiring that health plans that include dependent coverage insure children until age 26.
Young adults in low-income households were most at risk for remaining uninsured. Seventy percent of young adults with incomes under 133 percent of poverty ($14,484 for a single person) had a gap in coverage in 2011, more than three times the rate of those with incomes over 400 percent of poverty ($43,560 for a single person). Only 17 percent of young adults ages 19 in low-income families stayed on or joined their parents' plans, compared with 69 percent of young adults in the highest income households. Young adults over 25 cannot take advantage of the early provision.
"While the Affordable Care Act has already provided a new source of coverage for millions of young adults at risk of being uninsured, more help is needed for those left behind," says Commonwealth Fund Vice President Sara Collins, lead author of the report. "The law's major insurance provisions slated for 2014, including expanded Medicaid and subsidized private plans through state insurance exchanges, will provide nearly all young adults across the income spectrum with affordable and comprehensive health plans."
The report finds that more than one-third of all young adults ages 19 are coping with medical bill burdens just at the beginning of their working lives. Of those young adults with medical bill problems or who were paying off medical debt, 70 percent reported financial consequences such as using up all their savings, having to ask family members for help, taking on credit card debt, being unable to meet other debt obligations, or delaying education or career plans. Those who were uninsured or had a gap in coverage were at greatest risk: half (51%) of young adults who were uninsured when surveyed and nearly half (44%) with a gap in coverage during the year had a medical bill problem or medical debt.
The amount of medical debt was often substantial. One-quarter of young adults who were paying off medical debt owed $4,000 or more, and 15 percent reported $8,000 or more in debt. Among those with a gap in coverage during the year who were paying off debt, 31 percent had $4,000 or more of medical debt, 21 percent had $8,000 or more, and 11 percent had $10,000 or more.
Regardless of whether they had insurance, many young adults skipped or delayed getting needed health care because of cost. Two of five (41%) young adults said they did not fill a prescription; skipped a medical test, treatment, or follow-up visit recommended by a doctor; did not go to a doctor when sick; or did not get needed specialist care because of cost. Those who were uninsured or who had a gap in coverage were at greatest risk: 60 percent of young adults who were uninsured when surveyed and 56 percent of those who had an insurance gap during the year did not get needed care because of cost, compared with 29 percent of young adults who were insured all year.
While 85 percent of young adults with continuous insurance coverage reported having a regular doctor or place of care, that rate fell to 72 percent for those with gaps in coverage during the year and to 38 percent for those without insurance at the time of the survey. Similarly, rates of preventive care, including weight and blood pressure checks, were lower for those with any coverage gaps and continued to drop for young adults without insurance.
Timely use of dental care also varied depending on whether young adults had insurance. Young adults who were continuously insured under a plan that included dental coverage had the highest rates of dental care: three-quarters (76%) had had a dental check-up in the past year. Only 54 percent of those who had a gap in their insurance coverage in the past year and just 28 percent of those who were uninsured at the time of the survey had had a dental exam.
The report findings suggest that young adults are likely to enroll in health plans in large numbers when new affordable options become available under the Affordable Care Act in 2014. In addition to millions of young adults enrolling in their parents' policies over the past year, nearly two-thirds of working young adults ages 19 who were eligible for coverage through their jobs enrolled in their employers' health plans. The main reasons for not taking up employer coverage included being covered under a parent's or spouse's policy or not being able to afford the coverage. Just 6 percent of young adults said they did not need coverage.
"Clearly, young adults recognize the value of health insurance that provides protection against burdensome medical debt and access to needed health care," said Commonwealth Fund President Karen Davis. "The Affordable Care Act will provide all Americans with affordable coverage, and help young adults achieve healthy, productive, and financially secure futures."
The report by Commonwealth Fund researchers Sara Collins, Ruth Robertson, Tracy Garber, and Michelle Doty, is the third in a series called Tracking Trends in Health System Performance that The Commonwealth Fund will release over the next several years. Subsequent surveys will revisit the same respondents to track their experiences as the Affordable Care Act is implemented.
This is the third report based on a new series of longitudinal, nationally representative online tracking surveys launched by The Commonwealth Fund this year that will follow randomly selected panels of adults to examine changes in their health insurance coverage and health care as the Affordable Care Act is implemented.
The Commonwealth Fund Health Insurance Tracking Survey of Young Adults, 2011, was conducted online between November 4 and November 24, 2011, by Knowledge Networks, among a representative sample of adults ages 19 to 29. The survey sample was drawn from KnowledgePanel--a probability-based online panel that is representative of the U.S. population and includes cell-phone only and low-income households that are typically difficult to reach using traditional telephone surveys and random digit dialing (RDD) sampling.
The survey was completed by 1,863 respondents, yielding a 54 percent completion rate among sampled respondents. Statistical results are weighted to correct for the study's sample design and for survey nonresponse. The sample is representative of the approximately 46.6 million U.S. adults ages 19 to 29. The survey has an overall margin of sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.
