I would prefer to send my kids to public schools and universities.

I would far prefer single-payer health care or state-run health care to the current American system.

Mind you, I don't want to shut down private universities or health care providers for anyone who wants to pay for them.

I do want education and access to medical care to be universally available to all people (not just citizens, but people) in this country, and having a state-run system for those makes sense.

Consumer goods, I don't think there needs to be a government producer of those in general, unless the markets have somehow failed to make some necessities of life available to people.
