Living in the US, Working in Canada

[forsterb]

Having just recently joined ExpatForum, I'm hoping that some of you have some answers for me.
Presently my wife and I maintain DUAL CITIZENSHIP with Canada and the U.S. At this point in time we live and work in Canada, but I would like to explore the option of moving to the U.S. but still maintain my high paying job in Canada. My concerns are two fold - my tax requirement, plus the effect that it would have on our present Canadian Health care coverage, I don't want to lose this.

Is it possible for a person with both U.S. and Canadian citizenship, to live in the U.S. (just on the other side of the border so that commuting back and forth is possible), own a home and work in Canada making Canadian dollars.

Any help or comments that you have are definitely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Bob

You cannot LIVE in USA and retain your Canadian Health Care. You would have, in effect, abandoned Canada.
