* An actual public monopoly along the lines cited by you (VA, NHS, etc.), less so.

The NHS gets pretty high marks.  I know very few Brits who would opt for other choices, and I know a lot of Brits.  The VA has always had funding issues (the free-market types hate it), so evaluating it in honest terms is impossible.
