Granted, except for the fact that you'll be getting constant reminders on your house phone, your cell phone, email addresses where applicable and snail mail every hour on the hour, with more frequent reminders as your appointments draw nearer to the day. In the end, you either die by getting an avalanche of snail mail dumped on you, or you go insane from the constant reminders on your phones and emails.
Also, it's not covered by your HMO. Tough break.
