If there was a for-profit free market alternative to the ACA, we'd already have it.

The staggering amount of revisionism you employ in defense of Trump and the GOP is truly a sight to behold (and laugh at).
Here's one of many such exchanges where you claim that the GOP had a viable plan waiting in the wings:

Health care cannot be delivered within a true free-market paradigm. A free market requires buyers and sellers of a good/service to have equal information as to the cost, quality and efficacy of all available options. This is simply not possible in health care.

Attacks!? LOL! Actually, those links do provide a good source of info about the Repubs history on the topic. The part that's lost on you is that the Repubs aren't stupid enough to try to pass something as huge, unwieldy and unworkable as ObamaCare. Only the left is that stupid.

Yet they have been shit scared to pass a clean repeal for seven frigging years, and why is that?

Shit scared isn't accurate, and a repeal passed the House during the Obama years but does in the Dem controlled Senate. Many Repubs ran on repealing it during the last election But have this far failed to deliver. But I suspect you know this, so why are you trying to be misleading?

History proves the above statement utterly false. Now, if you want to make the point that the recent evolution in the payment systems for healthcare have removed the free market from healthcare, you might have a point.
