The first time I answered, no one was there. This was at 8:45PM. The second time, was at 5:15 PM. This time a man, who called himself Terrance, said he was doing survey for the Massachusetts Department of Health. I told him to take my number off their list as I was not interested in being bothered by them. I then called the number back and a recording says it is the Massachusetts Behaviorial Risk Factor Surveillance System Study. No doubt more tax dollars being wasted.
I called back, got a recording, left my name and number and said that I not only did not want a callback, I wanted to removed from the call listing - we'll see if it works

The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is the world’s largest, on-going telephone health survey system, tracking health conditions and risk behaviors in the United States yearly since 1984. Currently, data are collected monthly in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam.
They called my mom twice, two nights in a row at 9pm. Claiming they are the Massachusetts department of public health. They sounded as if he didn't care one bit about my mom's health after being told not to call. What good is the department of health doing our health if they aggravate us. None. Another useless government agency, and wasted tax money. If this is an official Massachusetts department of any kind, then it's only fair that Deval Patrick get the same consideration we do at our homes while spending time with our families. Find his home number and give it to them, so he and his familiy can experience the same aggravation.
