Canadian National Health Plan  

Research can vary from highly sophisticated experimental studies to  less rigorous short term investigations. Each research approach has  advantages and disadvantages.  Among the different paradigms you could  use, two of the more common are the “positivist approach” and the  “interpretive approach” (consult pages 39-40 in the text). If you were  interested in determining if the Canadian National Health Plan was  “better” (better in terms of care, coverage, and choice of doctors) then  the current United States Health Coverage Plan (Obama sponsored), which  approach would you choose to make this determination?  Provide a  justification to your answer. Remember, your decision is about the  research paradigm, and the subject focus (health care plans) provides  the context.
