The Affordable Care Act is just a weird compromise between a single-payer system and a free-market system. There's no conclusive evidence on whether one is "better" than the other, but both would be better than the system we have just implemented.

There's plenty of evidence. It really depends on one's definition of "better" but once that's decided, it's pretty clear which solution to prefer. Most of the arguments around healthcare are moral and ideological. Also, ACA doesn't resemble single-payer at all, so I don't understand what you mean by that.
