3. Punish him for what? Being willing to delay the individual mandate to buy insurance for a year?

What's wrong with that? The White House already delayed consumer protections like the out of pocket cap and employer mandate for a year so why not delay the individual mandate as well? It's only fair.

Rep. Raul Ruiz on Wednesday tried to quell Democratic uproar over his vote for a Republican plan to delay a key provision of the federal health care law in a bargain to keep the government running.

I'm trying to see what the problem with is with that. Would it piss off the insurance company lobbyists? Is that what we're supposed to be upset about here?
