According to a new Gallup poll, the American public ranks medical professionals highly for honesty and ethical standards. Out of 21 professions test, respondents rank nurses, pharmacists and medical doctors highest. By comparison, only 7% of respondents believe Members of Congress are honest and ethical.

As more Americans learn the details and negative consequences of the PPACA, the number of voters who strongly favor repeal has increased back to its all time high since March, 2010.
