Laugh at them in their face. Call their bullshit.
Yesterday while getting my physical the nurse and I were going over the questionnaire. I chuckled at a few of them and she told me "I know. These are dumb. It's from Obamacare but don't worry, Trump is going to fix it."
I laughed in her face and asked her what exactly had she seen in the last month that would lead her to believe Trump was capable of fixing ANYTHING?
She told me it's not his fault, he inherited a huge mess.
I said, Oh really? Obama inherited two wars, the great Recession, and a stock market at 6000. He handled his business like a boss.
She was speechless and walked out.
Call them out DUers. No more taking the high road. Make them eat this shit sandwich they created.

in that my primary physician (and his staff) are politically aware and living in the real world. In fact, just last week, my primary and I spent much of the time after the exam (I was the last one for the day) discussing how fucked we are since this election (he has a DU-level of understanding of the inner chaos of Drumpf and his minions). 
It is so sad to hear that there are ANY medical professionals who still don't "get it" about the ACA.
When I am in the US, I live in a very blue part of a very blue state with outstanding medical professionals. So I am in a sort of bubble. But it's a bubble that I wish ALL Americans could live in. 
try to find some "commonalities" between/among others, even in a professional setting, in order to "break the ice". The problem is that certain subjects like politics and religion, are polarized, so it often behooves to tread lightly when attempting to engage in those subjects.
Once a commonality is found (as I noted in post #7 regarding my own primary doctor), the gully washer is unleashed! (and if that nurse had determined that she had a like-minded patient, the same would have probably happened)
It was the dental hygienist spouting crazy ideas and she was working on my teeth so I couldn't respond. 
Questions that seem funny to you could well apply in another demographic. Just saying...
And the beauty of it all? Not a DAM thing they can do about it! 
Years prior, I had a good rapport with my doc, but he retired and transferred all his patients to Dr. B. It was obvious that she was in medicine for the money (ordering me to take vitamin supplements which she happened to sell out of her office), and during one physical exam complained to me at length about how the reduced Medicare payments are hurting her practice.
The last straw was during the campaign for President Obama's re-election. She had placed an anti-Obama countdown clock/calendar at her checkout window, and I told her staffer that I thought it was inappropriate. The staffer apologized but said that Dr. B wanted it there despite the complaints by patients. My response was that I'll find another physician.
My new doc is a 10-mile-drive away -- I used to walk from my office to Dr. B's -- but there is no politicking. Also, no pushing of expensive-urine (vitamin supplement) products. I'm paying higher health insurance premiums, but the quality of care is worth it!
The only other drawback is the annual prostate exam: his index finger is a lot larger than hers was.
Resisting means just what you did.
