A Chinese couple arrived in Irvine, opened up a bank account, went on a
spending spree, had a baby and flew back home.
But they allegedly left the hospital without paying their full bill.
Federal investigators looking at birth tourism – a practice that gained
national attention this week following raids on more than 20 residences in
Orange, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties – say two local hospitals
have been favorites for operators working in Orange County: Fountain Valley
Regional Hospital and Medical Center and Hoag Hospital.
According to affidavits unsealed this week, the two hospitals were used by
customers of You Win USA Vacation Resort, a company that brings women from
China to Orange County with the specific intent of having babies with
American citizenship. While that is not in itself illegal, obtaining visas
under false pretenses, and fraudulently claiming to be indigent when seeking
health care, is illegal.
You Win USA Vacation Resort is one of three companies under investigation.
Federal investigators are looking for evidence of fraud, misuse of visas,
tax evasion and other crimes. No arrests have been made.
Investigators say about 400 of the Orange County children were born in the
Fountain Valley hospital and "many children" were born at Hoag, according to
the affidavit.
They also detailed the financial story of one Chinese family at the Fountain
Valley hospital:
Hongbao Xu and Xiaojing Cao arrived at LAX from China on Feb. 10, 2014. In
March, they opened a bank account with $34,000. A few days later, there was
a wire transfer of more than $203,000. Between March and May, there were
several charges to that account from pricey outlets: the Wynn Las Vegas
Hotel, the Bose Store, Rolex in Costa Mesa and Louis Vuitton in Beverly
Hills.
The couple had a baby on April 16. The hospital charged them $28,845.29 for
his birth.
The father paid $4,080.
On May 29, they transferred out $220,000 to China. A day later, the couple
went back to China with their newborn infant.
"It appears that while H. Xu and Cao had hundreds of thousands of dollars
available to pay the full hospital charges," wrote Jeffrey Eastman, a
special agent with Homeland Security Investigations, in the affidavit.
On Wednesday, a Fountain Valley Regional Hospital spokeswoman declined to
talk about the issue in detail, saying only that the hospital has cooperated
with law enforcement "and will continue to do so."
At Hoag, "many children" were born there since 2013 who were connected to an
Irvine couple under investigation by federal authorities, according to the
affidavit. Shannon Dwyer, an attorney for St. Joseph Hoag Health, said
Wednesday that the hospital is cooperating with authorities and provides
medical care "to all who walk through our doors, regardless of their
background or ability to pay."
That open-door policy can be problematic if a birth tourist operator floods
a hospital with patients.
“When an influx of deliveries occurs, it causes undue stress on the
resources of the hospital,” said Suzanne Richards, interim chief executive
of Integrated Health Care, which oversees Western Medical Center in Santa
Ana.
The practice known as birth tourism, or maternity hotels, is not new.
The Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington, D.C.-based group that
promotes slow immigration, estimates that some 40,000 babies are born in the
U.S. each year from mothers who crossed the border with the specific intent
of giving their infant American citizenship.
The companies that operate the birthing operations offer the women housing,
medical care and shopping opportunities, according to the affidavits by the
Department of Homeland Investigations.
The more expensive packages include deluxe accommodations, trips to
Disneyland and other venues. They also instruct the women on what to wear
and say upon arrival to avoid detection by immigration officials.
One company, Star Baby Care, charged an extra $10,000 for its Irvine
location, according to an affidavit filed by special agent Jared Harada.
That company says it has provided services to 8,000 women since 1999,
including 4,000 from China. Their packages range from $10,000 to $25,000,
Harada wrote.
The operators’ websites tout the benefits of U.S. citizenship. One company
includes the image of a woman arriving pregnant and leaving with a baby
wrapped in a U.S. flag.
But Jon Feere, legal policy analyst with the Center for Immigration Studies,
said Wednesday that while the three-county investigation in Southern
California involved wealthy Chinese, many of the so-called birth tourists
come from poorer backgrounds and may go under the radar.
“It’s very organized in China. But not every single person is wealthy and
going through these providers,” Feere said.
“Some come with just a plane ticket.”

看了一下,也没花啥钱吗,其实人家土豪也是准备在美国花钱的,否则转钱干嘛?
但月子中心服务太周到,申请政府补助,医院减免等全包。然后土豪当然高兴喽,省钱
了吗,把钱转回国,然后到处宣传美国政府就是活雷锋。
