They do NOT want an "alternative" for PPACA. They want it gone. Dead. Buried. Period. They want things to go back to where they were pre-PPACA. It's what their debased "base" wants. It's what their corporate contributors want. They can't and won't DO anything because ANYTHING more than what they we had pre-PPACA is too much for their base to handle/support and all of their various replacement "ideas" are too little for everybody else. Although the PPACA didn't quite go far enough, it was actually pretty brilliant for President Obama to champion its more limited approach because it basically left the GnOP with nowhere to go legislatively and yet still is a significant improvement in the system.
