If you think Obamacare is an abomination then what is your solution for the millions of poor Americans who cannot afford extensive, critical health care?

The solution is that they will have shorter lifespans. This will save a tremendous amount of money.
No, that was Bush's tagline. He was not a conservative in any sense of the word that I would use. Bush, if you recall, expanded the health/welfare liabilities by trillions of dollars. He also supported the "ER healthcare for uninsured" unfunded mandate.
Remember...the Republican party held him up as the answer to the Clinton/Gore Ultra-liberalism of the 1990s.
Clinton was a centrist, and Bush was only a nominal conservative. You seem to be under this misconception that all Republican positions are necessarily "conservative." When it comes to healthcare, Republicans are in the "big business" corner, and Democrats are in the "poor people" corner. No group with any policy making ability has fiscally conservative views on this topic.
Anyway, Americans aren't entitled to care from medical doctors. If you're going to be economically unproductive, you'd better be hardy.

According to the nuts running the GOP these days, poor people are poor for a reason- they are morally inferior, and God has forsaken them. If they can't compete for health care in the Insurance Co-run free market, well then...
It's the "I got mine- good luck getting yours" version of the Social Contract.
But, by all means, let's repeal Obamacare everybody. Nevermind how many lives it's saved already. No socialism for us, by golly. Just send that money right back, and say "Thanks, but no thanks".
I think that about sums up the Conservative solution...
The Republican solution was the individual mandate. I was really upset when the Dems caved and included that initially Republican proposal in the bill as a compromise.
Privately owned health savings accounts funded with pre-tax money combined with a high deductible catastrophic hospitalization policy. When people buy health care services with their own money and shop for doctors and services they can afford, prices will come down.
