Healthcare comes to mind since we're discussing US politics. Roads might be the canonical example but I'm not familiar with any examples of privatized roads.

  Toll Roads? Generally better maintained and provide a shorter pat for a small but willing-to-pay segment of the population that government programs overlook.

    I do pay several hundred a year in tolls but as far as I can tell it all goes to state or local DOTs.

  Countries with public rail systems (or railway companies that are largely owned by the state) are usually way better than privately operated railway lines. Private railway service almost always sucks (crappy trains, high fares) and is only profitable on the most popular routes.

  The M6 toll is a pretty nice road as roads go. I believe it was privately funded.
