Republican Rep. Reid Ribble wants to deny congress health care in retirement if Obamacare repealed.

Rep. Reid Ribble is making it awful hard to hate a Republican, at least one Republican in the House.

In what I would have expected from a "fighting Democrat" (fat chance), Ribble is going after those fellow Republicans who want to repeal Obamacare, or otherwise known as the Affordable Care Act: 

Congressman Reid Ribble introduced the No Health Care for Life for Congress Act of 2013 (H.R. 2894). Should the Affordable Care Act be repealed, this legislation would prevent all members of Congress from receiving taxpayer funded health care benefits when they retire from Congress.

“For decades, Americans have given Congress consistently failing grades while Congress has been playing by its own rules. Congress needs to stop giving themselves perks and sweetheart benefits that are not available to American citizens and play by the same rules that hardworking American families do. The founding fathers wanted members of Congress to be citizen legislators, not career politicians.”

•    This legislation states that, should the PPACA be repealed, retired members of Congress and their dependents will not be eligible to receive health care under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.

•    The bill applies to both current and former members of Congress at the time of the repeal of PPACA.

That's not all, you might remember he tried this:

He has cosponsored legislation that would end congressional pensions for members (H.R. 178).

But Ribble is still a Republican, and despite the above agreeable proposals, he still did this:

BLOCKAGE OF 2010 HEALTH LAW: Voting 232 for and 185 against, the House on Friday passed a Republican bill (HR 2009) to strip the Internal Revenue Service of its authority to enforce the 2010 health law’s individual mandate. 

Voting yes: Ryan, Sensenbrenner, Petri, Duffy, Ribble.    Voting no: Pocan, Kind, Moore
