State run (or heavily regulated) services around here in Eastern Europe: health care, education and housing. All incredibly bad and expensive, I pay huge chunks of my monthly salary for them and I try to avoid them at all costs. They get worse and more expensive with time too.

All the other services and products I use in my life, from the car I drive to the clothes on my back, the food I eat and the device I write this on are provided by private enterprise and they have become much better and cheaper in my life time.

Health care, education and housing have been getting worse and more expensive in the US over the decade also. Must be all that nationalization.

State-run all those things used to be way cheaper and better here than after privatization. So much more, it's not even funny.
