It happened to a friend of mine. Ended up owing $500 because taxes weren't being paid at the time.

There's the monthly fee you pay if you're above a certain income but if you were unemployed at the time of receiving your health care and started working at less than 20k per annum then you still don't pay.
I'm not sure about the 20k amount but I think it's higher in BC and may be lower in other provinces who knows. All I do know is that a friend of mine who had a baby and wasn't on welfare but still had no income went through this.
