Seems to me you can repeal through reconciliation a bill that was totally passed through reconciliation.

It wasn’t totally passed through reconciliation.

“ObamaCare was passed, using the original legislative vehicle, at 1:38am on 12/24/09 with 60 votes in the Senate (vote totals: 60/39/1).”

“The House then approved that Senate Bill without changes; and in February 2010 created a secondary bill which created the opportunity for the Senate to modify ObamaCare using “reconciliation” for a lower vote threshold of 51 votes.”
