It's certainly a health-related issue and pilots should voice their concerns in order to force action on the airlines. Knowing that a simple low-cost solution is readily available to address the extreme cold temps, it really seems inexcusable that this hasn't been resolved across all airlines on their 320 fleets.
Does anyone know of any other progress on this issue? What options are available to pilots to express their concerns?

Oh, wait I don’t do that. Open all the air vents and you will not be cold in an Airbus again, or hot on the ground for that matter…
