* What do we do if a person's insurance status changes or they move in or out of [[Province]]? Do we change those PHINs? If we wanted to keep the same person_ID for different PHINs we would need to remove the first step in [[Generate Person IDs]] that blows away Person_IDs for duplicate PHINs. but: if we remove that step we will no longer make sure that the scenario of multiple PHINs per Person_ID doesn't happen accidentally.
