Can't you just go to a clinic unconnected to your normal doctor and your wife? Pay cash, etc...sb pretty easy for a hobbyist to negotiate.

Watch the pharmacies, too. Once you're in the system, who knows where the information ends up or when you get a statement. No credit card transactions, obviously.
Then once you get the pills, you have to carry them in the original prescription bottle with your name on it. If you carry prescription meds on you, and they're not in the original container, you are guilty of a crime. Even if you have a prescription, it's still a crime to not be in the original bottle. Even if it's not narcotics. Even if it's a non-prescription meds. Standard BS of requiring you to provide proof of everything to make it easier for the police, and it's a crime not to have the proof on you.
What do the illegal aliens do when they want medical care? Just go into a doctor's office and give a phony SSN, or what? (Please, no venom about illegals here. The don't ALL get all their medical care from the emergency room.)
