    Universal health care is needed and has been an ongoing issue for many years, but it is often met with opposition when brought to legislative officials (Kilgour, 2015). While legislative officials have been trying to adopt universal health care coverage since before the PPACA went into effect in 2010, they have been met with major resistance. During these times when universal health care legislation was attempting to become passed, a number of other programs started becoming active. One such program is the State Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP), which provides health care benefits to American and immigrant children up to 19 years old (Kilgour, 2015). Additionally, the Veterans Administration and Tricare for military personnel and families was created to allow health care to become utilized by these individuals (Kilgour, 2015).…
