The government runs a lot of things better than the private sector. Even in the US, the government loosely or strongly manages Police, National Defense, Garbage Disposal, Water managenemt, Power Management, Internet infrastructure, Education, Telephone, Mail and many more. Any service that every citizen needs to live a healthy life is better and more cost effectively run by the government.

Some of those are run by monopolies such as power, telephone and internet providers.
Telephone and internet are usually run by private companies no? I think the post meant that the few government run alternatives that exist tend to be better (cheaper, faster, better service etc).
