That is not how the ACA was passed. It was passed with a simple majority. The Senate called it a budget issue.

For someone who considers himself well informed you are quite a joke.

Depends on the issue. Some things cannot be filibustered under House and Senate rules.

I did get that mixed up, but, as said, the ACA did not require 60 votes to pass.
