The government should provide necessary services that the free market will fail to provide. Not everything that is necessary is profitable. Roads, fire, police, education, research, heath care, and mass transit have all been previously mentioned.
The problem with private industry is they only provide services to those who can afford it. Thus when something is necessary it makes sense that the government provides it and not private industry. Thus if you argue that private industry should run one of those things I mentioned then you must by definition agree that those services should only be provided to the privileged.
For those of you against government ran health care, do you believe the poor should not get good health care?
