Texas Gov. Greg Abbott orders Texas officials to investigate Mission Regional Medical Center after the hospital is linked to advertisements in Mexico promoting “birth packages” for foreign nationals. According to reporting from multiple outlets, the governor directs the state health agency to launch the probe immediately, citing concerns about so-called “birth tourism” and potential attempts to profit from access to U.S. citizenship. The dispute centers on billboards or advertisements in Mexico advertising services described as “birth packages,” with one account stating starting prices of about $3,950. Abbott frames the issue as inappropriate commercialization of citizenship. The governor communicates his request in a letter to the executive commissioner of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, asking for an investigation into the hospital’s conduct and whether any laws or regulations are being violated. The outlets also describe the case as involving cross-border marketing tied to birth-related services offered through the Texas facility. The investigation’s scope and findings are not yet reported in the provided articles.
