    Didn’t they have control of the House and Senate last time and still couldn’t get it repealed before?

    Repealing the bill would mean revoking tens to hundreds of millions from various states. A lot of the healthcare and health insurance industry (which is dominated by right-wing financial interests) sees ACA as a valuable income stream. Its hard to uproot for the same reason Social Security and Medicaire/caid are hard to uproot. There’s simply too much money running through the system and too many private interests invested in the flow.
