 No sweat, just lie about who your last doctor was.  Unless the
 opters-out break medical ethics and broadcast your record to the
 whole local medical community, the lie won't be penetrated.  A lot
 of hassle giving your whole medical history afresh, and of course
 more drain on the medical budget.  In case you're wondering, I'm
 a moral man, and two of my highest values are life and truth; I
 don't at all appreciate being put in a situation where I might
 have to rate one above the other.
