http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_Act_of_1965
The bill went through more than five hundred amendments before being passed by majority vote in both the House (307-116) and Senate (70-24). The legislation made two amendments to the Social Security Act of 1935. Title 18, which became known as Medicare, includes Part A, which provides hospital insurance to the aged, and Part B, which provides supplemental medical insurance. Title 19, which became known as Medicaid, states that at the state's discretion, it can finance the healthcare for individuals who were at or close to the public assistance level.
Before conference vote: 68 Yeas--21 Nays (with 11 not voting) on July 9, 1965 Final bill: 70 Yeas--24 Nays (with 6 not voting) voted on July 28, 1965 The bill was signed by President Lyndon Johnson at a special ceremony in Independence, Missouri on July 30, 1965.
According to the Social Security website:

- In the House, 48 Democrats and 68 Republicans voted against it while 237 Dem and 70 GOP voted for it. (8 Dem and 2 GOP did not vote)

Are Republicans for the healthcare reform bill?
No, Republicans have been vocally opposed to the bill, and even though it passed and was upheld by the Supreme Court, they still want to repeal it. This is surprising, given that many of the ideas it contains were originally championed by Republicans, and the law itself is modeled after a law Mitt Romney created when he was governor of Massachusetts.
