They simply forgot to include it. In their haste to pass the monstrosity, they made one BIG boo-boo of omission which will end up bringing the whole thing crashing down.

From the same article linked to at 141.
Some people have claimed the severability clause is absent from Obamacare because the writing process of the bill was such a cluster, the clause was just forgotten. But the reality, I’m told, is that a severability clause would’ve been added in conference between the House and Senate. Except that as you know, no such conference happened — everything had to be done via reconciliation after the House passed the Senate bill. Hence, no severability clause.

Because contrary to their pontifications to the contrary THEY DID READ THE BILL!
