Thread:Comments:US House of Representatives passes health care bill/Yay!/reply (6)

I don't see what the big issue is. We've had the NHS over here for donkeys' years, and it's worked out all right (I'm not saying the NHS is perfect—we all know it isn't—but it works). I don't quite understand the Republican objections to this—I presume they're based on funding? I don't envision many people minding a small tax increase if it will ensure their health... or the government could save some money by not spending it all on an illegal war in the Middle East...
