NOTE: I have no idea why this brilliant healthy 27 yo activist law student, Mr. Skala, who had dedicated his life to the cause of passing single payer, suddenly passed away or whether he had any serious health conditions, etc. (He did not look unhealthy at all in videos of him that I had seen like the one right below)

But simply explaining i away by stress (of having a House hearing upon which trillions of dollars in profits and likely millions of lives hung in the balance...coming up in just a few days.) doesnt seem so likely even under the circumstances- because so much money is involved and because it made such a huge difference to the global perception of thel US health insurance industry's image - and exporting of the health insurance model to the rest of the world as "the only possible future" the goal of a 22 year long process which began with the creation of the World Trade Organiztion and the GATS agreement - one of whose principal intentios is clearly preventing a withdrawal from the sphere of economic control because of the huge profits preservation of the health insurance model represented in a world where access to legal help was declining and governments were increasingly complicit in needless denial of care in a medical economics experiment that they already knew would fail, reminiscent of textbook cases in medical ethics tomes.

The locking down of the huge profits depended on no debate ever being able to actually occur and Obamacare staying in place and maintaining the illusion until more legitimate looking trade agreements (such as the one currently being negotiated in tight secrecy in Geneva) could somehow be signed without any public knowledge or real scrutiny.
