"When I was 50, I went in, he was a heart doctor, Cedar-Sinai, and he had signs up all around his office at this point [saying] 'We do not accept Obamacare,' and I hated this side of him that I only learned over time."
"I'd been with him for 20 years, and he said, 'You need to start taking statins right now,'" Odenkirk continued. "And I said, 'Well, I don't know. I don't have heart disease in my family.' He goes, 'Just take 'em.'" The actor opted to get a second opinion from another doctor, who told him that heart medication wasn't necessary yet. "And I had a heart attack. And I think the first doctor was right," the actor said. "The cranky conservative jackass was right, because he was a goddamn good doctor. His political point of view doesn't have anything to do with his ability to judge your health and your health choices and needs.
