Areas of Expertise
Medicaid
Over 70 million children, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and other adults are enrolled in Medicaid. It’s a complex program, but Day One Strategies has you covered from eligibility policy to improving access to understanding Medicaid waivers.
The Affordable Care Act
The Affordable Care Act does more than just expand coverage. Day One Strategies can help you navigate through its coverage expansions, new waiver options, and critical consumer protections.
Aging and Caregiving
The number of older adults in this country is growing quickly, but more work is needed to ensure older Americans can age with dignity in their homes and communities. Day One Strategies stands ready to advance this important work with you.

“The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy, and the handicapped.”
— Former Vice President Hubert Humphrey
