Is there any way to get blood tests done in the United States without it going into your permanent record? I'm working on leaving the us within months and I know poor health can cause governments to reject immigration applications. I have been healthy so far, but I don't want to ignore any signs of something possibly creeping up on me.

.. been on the other side of the escape hatch in South America a few weeks now. My country has national and private insurance, both won't pay for preexisting anything for 2 years, also no psychiatric coverage ever, but with vision/dental included it seems like a good trade. Red tape's been painful while being new to Spanish but, getting your point across while both parties are operating with a 3 or 4 year old's vocabulary can be hilarious/quite fun.
