Well last time they tried to get rid of it, but John McCain sank that effort as if failed 49-51. Just before he died of cancer.

Now all the John McCains have been purged from the GOP and they will have a bigger senate majority, and likely a significant house majority too. So if there is an effort to repeal the ACA, it'll very likely pass.

Non stop fillibusters for 4 years?

Is that our only hope?

You mean filibuster. The Democrats didn't eliminate it under Biden out of fear for what Republicans would do when they took power again. Guess what?
