Private water, gas, electric here in Canada is not great either but they are government granted monopolies and still way better than what the government would be able to do. Public healthcare has become an utter, expensive disaster. It will take you 6 months to get an MRI if you are lucky and a year to see a specialist. Somethings are actually starting to slowly get privatized and it is helping to alleviate the backlog. Certain tests can be obtained privately now and pharmacists can now give prescriptions and renew prescriptions for basic illnesses so you don't have to clog up the system with people seeing doctors to get a prescription for pink eye or something like that.

The best maintained roads and highways I have seen are private whether toll or not.

Public education is a mess. Kids test scores are terrible and rather than fixing the issue they want to change the way tests are graded and teachers are measured.

Public sector unions have massive political influence in the country and impede democracy by slandering candidates that don't give them what they want.

Honestly, I have yet to see anything positive for society that government offers in a better way than private enterprise can.
