ACA actually took a supermajority to pass, meaning the 58 Dems and 2 Independents of 2010 senate. They definitely faced the consequences of it, of outrage from both sides, too, since they haven’t even gotten 50 senators in an election since the 2013 congress.
IIRC, at the time Dems had the majority and still the ACA got bastardized before the pubes would let it pass. Personally, I’d consider it a failure.
