I always wondered why so many credit cards came from South Dakota

here's the story.

Ezra Klein uses it as an example of why insurance companies shouldn't be allowed to operate across state lines.

Klein is a hack.  For example, he conveniently (cough) leaves out the example of auto insurance, which is very competitive, and in which national companies manage to insure according to state regulations.

Also, comparing credit to insurance is a bad joke.  They're completely different products.

The entire piece is a big pile of steaming manure.

2 Crop insurance
Life insurance
Car insurance

All sold across state lines without horrible terrible nasty things happening.
