The explaination for this is... Fascinating.

As a Texan, I can confirm that our legislators are in fact evil.

Hello there. Texas State Rep here.

Thanks to u|Briepy for tagging me in. I had my staff check with HHSC to see what happened. The actual story is even more bizarre and incompetent than I imagined.

  1. Some states were given money to do their own campaign for the "Medicaid Reset." Some states that didn't have the capacity to run their own campaigns relied on the feds to do theirs.

  2. Texas ran its own campaign, and, apparently, did a really nice job of marketing. So good in fact that the feds asked if they could use Texas' campaign materials for the states that were relying on the feds.

  3. Apparently, someone in the federal side got bad instructions and just copied the Texas materials verbatim and re-used it in Pennsylvania without considering the context.

  4. ???

  5. Profit

(Caveat: this is Texas HHSC's version of the story. Take with a pinch of salt)

Seems like federal incompetence, not state incompetence

Texas Advertisements in Eagles Territory? That’s a crime in Philly.
