How do proponents of rolling back Medicare and other "entitlement" programs expect seniors to survive?

This is a genuine question. Not looking for a fight or a circlejerk.
Some people don’t believe in “entitlement” programs like Medicare or Social Security. Do people who hold these views have any kind of plan to protect seniors without these programs, or do they just expect seniors to either work forever or die?
In America, it is usually very expensive to purchase health insurance not through an employer. So as far as I can tell, the only options a senior would have if we didn’t have Medicare would be to continue working indefinitely, or attempt to somehow buy health insurance with money they couldn’t possibly have on a fixed income.
What’s the plan for seniors under this system? Is there one? What did seniors do before Medicare?
