Almost literally everything is privatized and people from all segments of society buy stuff. Cars, phones, food, clothing, computers, are all manufactured by private enterprise without being run by the government. They are not just for the elite.

The US government spends more money on health care than any other country in the world, and is 4th in terms of the percentage of its budget that goes towards health care. It is hardly a libertarian dream.

Cars are an interesting point. Average cost of a car is $40k currently (average gas prices is ~$4.68/gallon. We are forced to drive in most places in the US, because there is very little public transit infrastructure. The transfer from public to private has led to expensive transportation, high carbon emissions, and rampant obesity. Now we cannot imagine any alternatives and private industry won't allow public alternatives.
