Waxman, (Dillweed-CA) Flew into a snit when several large companies announced that Obamacare would cost them millions and decided to call them on the carpet in front of his committee.

Now Waxman has quietly spiked his inquisition:

A House Energy and Commerce Committee spokeswoman tells me that Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., has indeed cancelled the April 21 subcommittee hearing in which CEOs were to testify about Obamacare.
