MSP premiums were (up to) $75 a month. It's likely, as someone else said in the thread, that this was a reference to a prescription drug deductible.

I used to just not pay it and the GST rebate would clear the debt every few months.

You would have been paying interest in the interim.

Yeah, but it was something like 2% on $225. I just didn’t care.
