Maybe they can but they don't and they won't. Lookin' at you, US Healthcare.

Why do it better and cheaper when you can do it worse for much cheaper but charge way more so you can make record profits?
With more profits for shareholders? Sure. Faster and cheaper? No, not even close. Just look at every instance, where infrastructure is privatised, it goes to shit.
Sure, they can, but they never do. The private sector will pretty much always do things as cheaply as possible and then charge as much as they can possibly get away with.
The private sector and the government are not supposed to do the same things. The government should represent the public good and protect citizens from the excesses of the private sector. We should strive to live in a society that makes everyone happy and healthy. If the actions of the private sector are not serving that end, then the government should intervene to correct it.
Citizens who do not support the mere notion of government are forfeiting their best chance to ensure a world that works for their shared common interests as members of the public.

People who support corporate hegemony and anarcho-capitalism are boot-licking authoritarianism. They are distracted by daydreams that they will be micro-authoritarian feudal lords and not the serfs being crushed under the corporate boot.
Kinda similar to the tankies that think they'll be book sellers and not coal miners
Yes, the government should add some rules to the private sector, not fund their monopolies like they seem to do
Except police the private sector..
“Sure we can. But our definitions may be different,”- corpo stooge
Omg the upvote-downvote ratio
The government should only regulate industry not run it. I personally think government elected officials should be barred from owning stocks and should be charged with insider trading if they open stock accounts in family member names. Government and Business should remain separate.
