If I have dual citizenship (Canadian & American) can I come home (Canada) for health care?

I want to possibly go to the States when I'm older to work, but I despise the health care system - is it legal to go home to Canada for health care? Getting stuck in the crazy American pay-as-you-go "Health" system is my biggest fear about going there.

No. If you are resident in the USA, you are not resident in Canada.

Only Canadian residents are eligible for healthcare there.

When you live in the US you buy health insurance privately.

Nope. Health care is a provincial responsibility in Canada and you must be a resident of the province to be eligible. Each province has its own rules but in Ontario you cannot be out of the province for more than 180 days without losing your Ontario Health Insurance coverage. The "snowbirds" are very careful about their Florida stays.

you must live in canada for so many days each year to keep health care not sure of the days but i think its around 200

This sounds like an Asian Indian asking the question. They will always find a loophole or some other way to duck responsibility for taking care of themselves. One of the reasons that healthcare costs, welfare etc. go up where ever they locate.
