AGAIN: I'm not a huge fan of the guy, but like it or not, ANY federal legislation will almost certainly require Joe Manchin's blessing to get signed into law whether Dems flip the GA Senate seats or not.
Posting posting photos of him being glared at isn't going to change that.

Manchin has already stated that killing the filibuster is a non-starter. He's proposing a different rule in which any legislation which has bipartisan Senate support (via a committee) would have to be given a floor vote, which would at least be a partial improvement, I suppose.
This, again, is why I'm guessing the full #BidenCare proposal is unlikely to make it through. The #ACA2.0 part probably would, however.
A full PO is unlikely. Lowering the Medicare buy-in age to 60 is a possibility (which I suspect is why Biden included it in the first place).

My best guess:
--If Dems flip both GA Seats: ACA saved, upgraded to ACA 2.0 w/Medicare 60+
--If Dems *don't* flip both GA Seats (*assuming* SCOTUS doesn't kill ACA): ACA 1.5 + something to help those in the Medicaid Gap.
