Merely taking the Senate won’t work, unless by a filibuster-proof majority, and that’s not happening.

Tell me how CommieCare is going to be repealed without 60 Senate votes. (Well, maybe they can “deem” it repealed - it worked for the DementedCrats.)

0bamacare was not passed with 60 votes. Part of PPACA was passed with 60 Senate votes, but the House would not approve that version. The Final PPACA was passed by inserting Amendments agreeable to the House during the process of budget reconciliation, bypassing the regular order of the Senate.

Therefore, all that is necessary for the repeal of PPACA is 50 votes + Vice President Ryan. In a budget reconciliation, we insert an Amendment which says, the "PPACA of 2010 is hereby repealed."

And that's it.

How about the same way it “passed” originally? DEEM it to have passed the senate.

It should have never passed the supreme court for that reason. For a bill to become law, it must pass in identical form, both houses of congress and then be signed by the prez. That did not happen.
