Kentucky Legislators Betray Coal Miners


Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin recently signed laws which limits coal miners from applying for State Black lung benefits since now only pulmonologists  are qualified to read x-rays to diagnose black lung disease. 

 There are only six pulmonologists in the entire state of Kentucky who are “B-readers.” Four of the six typically work for coal companies. Those physicians more often than not assist the coal operators with their efforts to deny miners compensation for their work-related lung disease.

 CDC Approved Kentucky PULMONOLOGISTS vs RADIOLOGISTS
