“I thought that Obamacare, as it exists now, was created through reconciliation without the required 60 votes”

That is misinformation. You should start distrusting the source that informed you of that.

The bill passed the Senate 60-39, and the House decided to pass the Senate bill and use their reconciliation process to adjust the taxes and subsidies.

Otherwise it would not be law. And it is.

Look it up on Wiki.

Did the rats have 60 seats back then? I seem to remember that not even one republican voted for it in either chamber.

My source is my memory. And I do distrust it.

What you said makes sense.

So do we have to have 60 votes to repeal?

If so, why can we make changes without 60 votes?
