Same as mine (personality not insurance discussion). In my adult life, I've found most Americans I deal with to be genuinely great people who are really no different than us. I have many American friends i've made through work and meeting up with people randomly on vacations say at the swim-up bar at an all inclusive resort.
I think it really does depend on your physical location though. Most of my current interactions are with Americans from West and South from the Great Lakes. Having grown up in the Maritimes though I was none to fond of people from the New England and New York Areas. Just came off as brash, abbrasive, and inconsiderate. I still get the feeling to this day when I deal with them professionally in those areas. The same can be said for Canada though. Try dealing with a corporate lawyer from downtown Toronto. You won't be as warm and fuzzy about the experience as you would say in dealing with one from here.
I'm seeing a lot of Lousiana, Alabama, Southern US dislike in this thread, which kind of perplexes me. Some of the nicest people I have met in my life are from the South. Just completely genuine people who will go out of your way to help you.
