Pre-meditated?

The Republican party has cast off any pretense of human decency. Listen to them as they speak about their plans regarding health care. This is the first time, in my memory anyway, that there has been such a determined effort to take a benefit away from Americans; and they are doing this with the full knowledge that MILLIONS of us will be harmed, many fatally so. They cannot reasonably claim ignorance of that reality, and their abject indifference to that deadly fact is cause to question what investment they have, moral or fiscal, that so guides their malevolent intent.

Those senators who are voting to take away health care don't see it as taking anything away from "real" people. It's the same mind set that allowed German citizens to commit atrocities under Hitler. When you dehumanize others it changes everything and the repubs seem to have mastered it.
