Freedom works better than making decisions for individuals through government. That's why we don't vote on what type of food you will eat each day, we let the individual eater decide, even if they are a subsidized eater (food stamps, or other government payments are paying for the food). We don't vote on what types of cars will be available, we let the people involved in buying and selling cars decide.

There are cases where its really hard to inject competition. For example competing mercenary groups probably are not the best way to take care of national defense. But in provision of services to individuals competition works better than government monopoly.
