Reconciliation doesn't mean that entire acts are repealed after ten years but rather alterations within the tax code enacted by the legislation must expire after ten years in order to meet the Senate's requirements and not be deemed ineligible for the process.

Also, the ACA itself was not passed through reconciliation but rather the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act.

...Oh geez, I completely misremembered how Obamacare was passed.  The reconciliation bill made only minor budgetary changes.

No problem! It was seven years ago! Geez...

When is the f**king vote expected to start?

Time tends to...er, stand still within the US Congress.

Remember also, the leadership has the power to keep a vote open for hours as was a popular tactic during the Bush Administration. Expect amusing outrage on the floor when that happens.

By the way, just remember that the reconciliation process is a pain in the ass. If any provision of a bill is ruled to be out of order under the rule, only a 60 vote threshold can reinstate it.
