Well last time they tried to get rid of it, but John McCain sank that effort as if failed 49-51. Just before he died of cancer.
Now all the John McCains have been purged from the GOP and they will have a bigger senate majority, and likely a significant house majority too. So if there is an effort to repeal the ACA, it’ll very likely pass.
All it takes to eliminate the filibuster is a bare majority. Democrats did it selectively to carve out exceptions for the few promises they actually wanted to fulfill.

That has gotta be hugely unpopular right?
People would absolutely flip out if we go back to “preexisting conditions”.
It will be hugely unpopular. It’s not clear whether that will translate to Trump or Republicans becoming unpopular though.
Non stop fillibusters for 4 years?
Is that our only hope?
