Correct, 2009-2011 they had both. I don’t know the full record but ACA was passed thanks to that, however not in the full form that was intended, including the public option you mention. Thanks Lieberman.
2021 they only had the House, and many bills were blocked in the Senate.
After being gouged of its many more-attractive features. The big thing the ACA was supposed to prevent was medical bankruptcy, and yet…
The share of debtors reporting a medical contributor before the ACA’s January 1, 2014 implementation (65.5%) and after implementation (67.5%) was similar (P = .37). Both of these figures are close to the 62.1% estimate from the 2007 survey, and in a difference-in-differences analysis we found no evidence that trends differed between states that did versus did not accept the ACA’s Medicaid expansion (P = .76). The responses regarding individual items in the current survey are also similar to those in 2007, when 57.1% of debtors cited medical bills as contributors to their bankruptcy and 40.3% cited income loss due to illness
Our medical system remains fundamentally broken. The three-legged stole of insurance mandates, regulations, and marketplaces has failed to produce anything comparable to the public systems common to Canada, Europe, and East Asia.
2021 they only had the House
They had 50 votes in the Senate, Schumer as Majority Leader, and Kamala as the tie-breaking vote.
Who held the majority in Congress during all those failures?
In 2009 and 2021 it was Democrats.

Tbf, at least a couple of those seats are DINOs.
