In a follow up conversation with CNA on Friday, Gallup poll analyst Lydia Saad spoke more about her findings on Americans trusting health care workers over Members of Congress, particularly in regard to the current health care reform.
Saad was careful in telling CNA that “the fact that far more Americans believe nurses and doctors have high honesty and ethical standards than say, the same of political leaders does not necessarily equate with trust in each on crafting healthcare reform legislation.”
“However,” she continued, “we do have additional evidence along these lines.”
Referring to a Gallup poll that she conducted in June, Saad told CNA that evidence shows more Americans display trust in the medical field than Congress to “make the recommendations for healthcare reform.”
