I suggest you talk to Senator John McCain about this.
Oh. Wait. Nevermind! ;)

About 25 or 30 years ago Paul Harvey was talking about this issue.

Medical tourism usually involves U.S. citizens going abroad to obtain low-cost care for serious conditions. Now one Tucson, Arizona hospital is fighting back by marketing its delivery room to Mexican mothers-to-be. And those who choose to come north to give birth get something extra no other country can offer: U.S. citizenship for their child.

Throw in U.S. chiropractors, doctors, those in the therapy industry..Hospitals etc...
It's the entire system is ripe with fraud..
They'll sit there and tell illegal aliens, "Hey, this like a work related injury"....You know, to ensure they get paid for treatment rendered.
The entire medical system is teaming with fraud.

""The center has created "birth packages" with options such as shopping excursions and spa stays. The packages are not tailored to the poor; a hospital spokesperson told the Star that some of its customers arrive on private jets. Although the packages aren't cheap (they range from $2,300 to $4,600), how much do you suppose an American citizenship is worth? If we auctioned one off, I'm sure it would sell for many times the cost of a "birth package," based on the value of the economic opportunities alone."" At least this is legal and private pay. There is another hospital marketing technique which gets almost no publicity. Hospitals encourage illegal immigrants to come and give birth at their hospital. The hospital gets Medicaid payment and the child is a natural born citizen. Most Medicaid requires proof of citizenship but not for childbirth.
