Will be interesting to see if Democrats reciprocate in weaponizing the filibuster. They've spent the last several years complaining about GOP doing it. Now is when we find out to what extent they're willing to replicate that model for the sake of protecting Obama's legacy. Of course GOP could change the rule (the so-called "nuclear option") or they could repeal the ACA with a budgetary vote, which only needs 51 votes; legislation passed by that method sunsets after 10 years, however (as with Bush tax cuts).
