I reckon one of the strings is server generated. I used to do similar things when I just stared coding.

On of the 'en's its generated by backend, so this is not always true as users may be from different country.

And worse, that particular mess is commented out, yet downloaded to everyone's browser.<p>But below, in live code, they have the same thing.

Go to healthcare.gov/es and the condition is if('es' == 'en'){} That's all ...

The best of the terrible js code's I have ever encountered.

Maybe its a place holder for future implementations

that is just their way of telling the client-side javascript about 'en' or 'es' etc . Bad design I guess.

Why does healthcare.gov use “if ('en' === 'en')“?
