We've got people hurting themselves and requiring EMT services out here... and I even know a few people that work in public and private centers/homes/services. They are the actual PCPs, but they might have some insight into how to apply for the back-end administration. PM me if you're interested. Full disclosure: Rent in Colorado is going up, up, up. It has grown faster than anywhere else in the country this year. We're still cheaper than the coasts and Chicago, but our percent increase has (unfortunately) beaten everyone.
Reading through that article, that is still a little cheaper than where I live in NJ. I was recently looking around for 1 bedroom apartments and I refuse to pay $1200 a month for it + all utilities. Pretty ridiculous, but I guess it's all relative. I think the organization I work for now has services in Colorado, but it's very hard to transfer since each state is it's own organization really. I remember looking at their career options online and they only had like 3 job openings. I'll be sending you a PM soon.
