Names are not unique

  So what? The person on the counter doesn't care at all about your privacy. They just cannot type your name into a search box, they have to ask for your birth date first before they can select you from a list based on the name that you state afterwards. At least that's the case at many doctor's offices I've been to.

    What do you mean so what? How does asking for a name help if it comes back with a list of multiple people with the same name? Adding the birthday makes it (much closer to) unique
