CATHARINES, Ontario, Jan.  02, 2026  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#8212; The News Forum, is proud to announce the exclusive broadcast premiere of the new documentary,\u00a0<em>&#8220;<\/em><strong><em>The Greater Good?&#8221;<\/em><\/strong> This thought-provoking film will debut nationwide on <strong>Sunday, January 4, 2026, at 8:00 PM ET\/MT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The film explores the core claim that <strong>Canadians endure lengthy medical wait lists to safeguard the public system, and<\/strong><strong>\u00a0allowing patients to seek quicker care in private clinics is said to threaten it.<\/strong> Many defenders of the status quo put forward this argument when health reform advocates call for copying Sweden, France and Australia and other universal systems that allow patients a choice: use the public system or pay for treatment at non-government clinics.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Canadian think tank SecondStreet.org, which hosts the television show On Second Street on The News Forum channel, produced <em>&#8220;The Greater Good?&#8221; <\/em>to explore this important issue. The documentary was shot from late 2024 through 2025 and features interviews with proponents on both sides of the debate, academics and patients.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><em>&#8220;We are committed to bringing thought-provoking content to our viewers and <\/em>The Greater Good?<em> is a great example of what we need to see more of when it comes to the health care debate,&#8221;<\/em> says Tore Stautland, CEO of The News Forum. <em>&#8220;This documentary touches on an important issue that impacts millions of Canadians each year.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><em>&#8220;Our goal with <\/em>The Greater Good?<em> documentary is to explore a unique aspect of Canada\u2019s universal health system and let viewers decide if it makes sense to continue to restrict the choices available for patients or not,&#8221; <\/em>added\u00a0Colin Craig, President of SecondStreet.org and host of On Second Street.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>Tune in to &#8220;The Greater Good&#8221; on
