Somebody working full time in Canada, likely they will be deemed resident in Canada,

not for healthcare purposes

No, they would not. There's no deeming of residency for healthcare or taxes. His resident is established by where he normally rests his head at night on a regular basis.

He will not qualify for Canadian healthcare since he will be a US LPR living in the US.

He pays Canadian taxes since his income is sourced there. Nothing to do with residency. Since it's earned in Canada, Canada can tax it.

As a US LPR, he is taxed on worldwide income. He reports his Canadian income, taxes, and gets a US tax credit.

How is the OP planning on commuting for work when they can't leave the USA until their AP is approved after filing for AOS? I assume some 3 month vacation or sabbatical?

Also every time you cross the border with the intent of filing AOS but are lying to the CBP to cross, you're committing fraud.

If you didn't have a visa to move to the USA, you aren't allowed to be living here yet. If you are living here but travelling daily to Canada, what are you telling the CBP officers?

If you had a K1 visa did you file the AOS paperwork already and get an RFE for the I-864? This AOS topic is for AOS from K1 visas. If you came across with a visitor visa (as a normal Canadian would) then we need to move this topic.

So how do you get insured in Canada?

They do have private insurance up there as well. Like Blue Cross. Generally it's supplemental to the provincial insurance though for things like private hospital rooms, ambulance rides, prescriptions, vision, and dental.

So what do people do who are crossing the border every day, they get sick or in an accident in Canada?

Pay out of pocket or cross the border again.

I grew up in a border town, you can even get the ambulance to take you across. The have an agreement in place in many border towns. My old doctor even practiced on both sides and saw his patients on the Canadian side many times.

But that is not what the OP asked about so lets get back on topic.
