Why he might be annoying:

    He became a controversial figure at the center of the passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2009.
    His previous support for the rationing of health care led Betsy McCaughey and Sarah Palin to accuse him of promoting the implementation of 'death panels.'
    He penned a piece for The Atlantic arguing that younger people who have yet to live a complete life are more worthy of getting a vaccine 'in a flu epidemic.'
    He has repeatedly blamed the Hippocratic Oath for the 'overuse' of medical care.
    The article's title? 'Why I Hope to Die at 75.' (draw your own conclusions).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He has admitted to arguing with his brother about healthcare policy on a regular basis.
    He has been critical of health insurance companies in his writings.
    He graduated from Exeter College, Oxford, with a master's degree in biochemistry.
    He was an associate professor at the Harvard Medical School.
