Yeppers alrighty; I'm the racist in the room for responding to this tripe and using the city of Dearborn as an example of the situation described in a racist fashion by one of you nuts. Oh and I'm also suffering from an inferiority complex.

Get a grip, boner ~ oops, did I just make a funny?

I'm happy for you.

Airstreams were never my thing and neither were Fix Or Repair Daily's. Our RV of choice for years was a 38 Mobile Suites pulled by a custom built International Toter with a bike barn on the back for the Harley Ultra. With 3:08 rearsets and 430hp/1600ft/lbs and a full tenspeed with .74 OD top ratio I guarandamntee you were never held up by me in either your Audi or your Caddy. Those were sold in summer of '10' and we now fly down to use the car we have down there and quite frankly love how the locals hold us by the ankles to shake us down.

I think hes a Muslim hating racist. Ive spent quite a bit of time at Immigration
in Detroit as my wife is from the PIs. Most of that office is serving Arab
Muslims and alot of them live in Dearborn. My interactions with them was always
friendly and they just seemed to be looking for a bitter way of life. I cant
read the posters mind but i think its some kind of bigoted remark concerning the
large number of Arabs in Dearborn
Typo or Freudian slip?

Not like this of course:

Independent Bloggers' Alliance: Americans "Filching" Canada's Health Insurance System by the Thousands

Examining Canada's health care system - Susan Campbell | Still Small Voice

Read down through the comments a bit.

Do you have even the slightest idea about the "pot-meet-kettle" conundrum you're opening up with your biased comments? Even that epitome of Republican tea party anti-socialized healthcare bullcrap, Palin, admitted she and her family availed themselves of free Canadian health care when all she had to do was drive across the border for it. Sheesh.
You need a Canadian health card to get universal (it's not free) Canadian healthcare. If you came from the States you would have to pay cash.

It's time to also be able to move and work freely between those two nations without any need to obtain citizenship and green card just like EU nations.

Canada should be like a US State, and USA should be like a Canadian province, yet still different nations.
If cooler heads had prevailed in the 18th Century (i.e. William Pitt had gotton a proposed Act of Parliament passed in 1766 to give the 13 colonies plus Canada seats in Parliament) we might all live in a single British North America with only Provincial boundaries and our Jack and Stripes. Wouldn't it have been marvelous to see Ben Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison John Adams or Alexander Hamilton as MPs in the Mother of All Parliaments.

Our Medicare cards didn't always have picture IDs on them. It was very easy to borrow a card from a Canadian and get health care. I've even seen people trying to use the picture ID cards if they have a vague resemblance to the person.

Canuckistanis are all arrogant and smug about their UHC but you dont here them say much about the oppresive taxes they pay for their dependency on the government. I think we should increase security at the border and make sure they pay for their American shopping sprees.
"Canusckistanis" mmmmm???? Yeppers; I guess I'M the bigoted, racist person and, lest you forgot, I also have that Canadian inferiority complex thingy; while you on the other hand are merely..... what.....????

I'll leave that to your confrere's to decide. They'll very likely judge you harsher than I ever could bonehead, errr boner.

They also bought and inherited cottages throughout the lakes areas of Ontario and therefore were able to apply for the early healthcards using an Ontario address while not paying any income taxes at all. This made them what?

Why goodness me; thieves, fraudsters and freeloaders are the operative words here. My, my!
