To be fair, I don't want my doctor to put conservative or liberal crap in his office. I'm not sure "we don't accept Obamacare" is a political statement, it certainly sounds overly aggressive.
I have no particular liking for this guy, but I'm not sure the evidence supports the claim that he specifically ignored the doctor's advice because he was conservative. It might just be that "you need to take medications because you have poor heart health" is not what someone wants to hear. Either way, probably not very smart.
The bigger problem with it is it doesn't make any sense. Not sure if you are familiar, but one does not accept "Obamacare." In many states, it's medicaid. The insurance you buy through the insurance portal is just insurance. Of course the doctor is free to take it or not, but not piecemeal. The way it goes is they strike a big deal with Aetna or some giant, and they take all the policies offered by that giant. The patients pay different amounts depending on their policy.
So I don't see how you can not take specifically Obamacare. There are doctors that do not accept Medicaid, but that says nothing about the other policies associated with Obamacare. And Medicaid existed long before Obama.

"We don't accept Obamacare" was more of an economical statement, it usually underpays the hospitals so they have to charge everyone else more
