Social Media Post Draws Attention to Mission Regional Medical Center Birth Package Advertising
· Texas Border Business
A social media post by David J. Harris Jr. highlighted bilingual billboards at Mission Regional Medical Center promoting 'Birth Packages in South Texas,' with prices for natural births and C-sections. The post gained traction before Governor Greg Abbott ordered an investigation into the hospital's advertising practices, particularly regarding claims of targeting foreign nationals for birth tourism. The billboards advertise natural births for $3,950 and C-sections for $5,525. Abbott's directive to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission aims to determine if the hospital violated any laws. The claims in Harris' post remain unverified as of now.
