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 advertising 'Birth Packages in South Texas' with prices for natural births at $3,950 and C-sections at $5,525. The post gained traction before Governor Greg Abbott instructed the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to investigate potential violations of advertising practices targeting foreign nationals. The billboards aim to attract birth tourism, allowing parents to secure U.S. citizenship for their children. The investigation will assess if the hospital breached state laws or contracts. The claims in the post remain unverified as of now.
