Just because these people are afraid of losing healthcare doesn't mean that they will not vote for Trump again.

I don't necessarily agree with that, but even if that is the case, there are many other issues, such as expanding social security and raising the minimum wage, where Democrats could win votes over.

The average American is not a far-left loon.

I wouldn't consider a social democracy to be far left nor would I consider it to be loony. As to your point about what the average American believes, many people, including a good number of Republicans, support policies that would help those like coal miners who need health care. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/12/01/republicans-divided-by-income-over-governments-role-in-safety-net-issues/
