The only thing in which the government excels is increasing the accessibility of services. Unlike the government, the free market aims at profit maximization and can't always allow products to be accessable, If you want accessable healthcare and/or education then a big government is the way to go. Accessability at the cost of efficiency. If accessibility isn't your aim, then the private market is the way to go.
The problem with this is that more often comes at the expense of quality. The additional problem in the U. S. is that less than 7% of the population is not covered or eligible to be covered by existing programs. Those who are not covered still have free access to the emergency rooms and hospitals where they receive the same care as any other citizen.

Even in education, students from equal backgrounds who go to privately owned schools tend to have much greater success in school and in college than those in government run schools. Much of this is attributable to the constraints placed on individual schools by government regulations. This, despite the HIGHER per student amount spent on government schools.
