Access to healthcare affects every single person and their community in a pretty obvious way. I don’t see any reason to assume people other than those in the coal industry and maybe their family and friends to care much about it. Maybe a few more for political ideology, but I still can’t see it being a significant amount.

The only reason we hear so much about it is because the states with coal industry hold some swing Senate and Electoral College votes.
