"There's a lot more evidence that owning a gun and a Bible is better for society than everyone having to own health insurance" Ann Coulter.

1. Classic

The old right-wing false dichotomy. Nearly as high on their list of strategies as the correlation-equals-causation: "Schools have gone straight downhill ever since the Supreme Court outlawed (organized) prayer! Bring back teacher-led prayer!"

2. bible vs insurance

I thought THAT was RW health insurance! :-)

3. More Americans own guns and bibles

than Western Europeans, who all have health insurance.
Western Europeans are healthier and live longer than Americans.
Therefore the evidence is that having health insurance is better than guns and bibles.

If she wishes to redefine what "better for society" is, then we simply look at Western Europe or Japan and compare it to countries where guns and religion are more prevalent. Many African and Middle East countries come to mind.
