This is nothing to do with the media seeing her as a serious candidate unless you also think that the octomom, john and kate and other reality tv stars are also serious candidates, the chat show hosts and their writers need to produce a vaguely funny and topical monologue each weekday so its inevitable that they will pick the easy targets of famous people with little real merit.

Wouldn't the most likely situation then be that you ended up with a few really big players covering the whole country who were able to be far more efficient at refusing to payout claims and avoiding insuring the people that might harm their profits.
The focus of your healthcare system are the profits of the health insurance companies, shouldn't the primary focus of any healthcare system be the actual healthcare?
