An Australian couple whose daughter was born prematurely in Vancouver say they hope the Australian government will prevent B.C. taxpayers from having to pay the million-dollar bill.

Piper Kan was born last Aug. 6, when mother Rachel Evans went into labour in her 26th week at Vancouver International Airport, shortly before the couple were scheduled to fly back to Sydney.

The baby girl weighed less than a kilogram when she was born by emergency C-section at BC Children's and Women's Hospital and spent 90 days in neonatal intensive care with breathing and lung problems, at a cost of $8,120 per day.

Piper's care also incurred the costs of numerous specialists and consultants. The couple also had to pay $550 for the ambulance from the airport to the hospital and another $3,000 for the birth.

Evans and her husband paid $10,000 to BC Children's and Women's Hospital on a credit card as a gesture of goodwill and the hospital has agreed to absorb part of the cost.

The couple have since reached a personal financing agreement with the hospital to pay $300 per month for the rest of their lives, but based on the figures they've been given, it would take them more than 200 years to pay their bill at that rate.
Non-resident debt

About 7,000 babies are born every year at BC Children's and Women's Hospital, the vast majority to British Columbians. For the fiscal year 2010-2011, the hospital says 13 non-resident women racked up unpaid debts of about $135,000 in total.
