Would I have to pay if I went to Canada to have my baby?
I am a dual citizen of the United States and America, but am currently living in america. I am not paying into the standard monthly fees of healthcare in Canada, but since I am a citizen and not making hardly any money, how much would I have to pay in Canada to have my baby?

If you are a Canadian citizen (typo?) who has lived out of Canada for more than 6 months, you do not have a claim to Canadian Health care. - That's why many retired people winter in the US and return to Canada during the summer. So, seeing as you'd have to be living in Canada for a year to get health care back, and I assume you are already pregnant, then you would have to pay all of it. It would be cheaper than in the US, but still very expensive.

You're a dual citizen of where? Did you mean the United States of America and Canada?
4 :
yes you would have to pay. Legal residency is the prerequisite for eligibility for health care. Not citizenship.
5 :
Yes. You have to be a resident with a home and permanent occupation of that home in Canada. There's a three month wait for insurance. Otherwise you get a bill. Say $5 000.

In order to live in the US and work there you would have to declare yourself a non resident of Canada so that you do not also pay Canadian taxes on any income you make in the US. Therefore you are no longer a Resident of Canada so do not qualify for any medical coverage except if you have a provider in the US that authorizes you to go to Canada and keep the coverage.

about the same as in the US or more, since you're not living in Canada. I'd stay home.

United States and America are the same place so how can you be a dual citizen? If you were a Canadian resident and living in Canada you would be covered. I am not sure what you mean by the monthly fees for health care. I pay no monthly fee but my taxes go to health care.
