Texas Governor Greg Abbott has ordered an investigation into Mission Regional Medical Center after the hospital advertised maternity services to pregnant foreign nationals in Mexico. The hospital confirmed to Fox News that it ran Spanish-language billboards promoting 'Birth Packages in South Texas,' with prices starting at $3,950 for natural births and $5,525 for C-sections. The ads directed viewers to a website, havemybabyinTEXAS.com, which has since been taken offline. The billboards, located near a U.S.-Mexico border crossing, displayed a U.S. country code phone number. The hospital removed the ads after images circulated on social media. Abbott directed the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to investigate potential violations of state law and contractual obligations. The hospital stated the campaign began in 2021 but did not specify when the billboards were installed. A spokesperson said the materials were removed due to 'unintended misunderstanding' and that the hospital complies with all applicable laws.
