Potential Healthcare Cost Increases for Live Nation Entertainment in 2026: As we approach 2026, healthcare costs for employees at Live Nation Entertainment are projected to rise significantly due to several compounding factors. Primarily, the expiration of enhanced federal subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) may lead to average premium increases of over 75% for many enrollees. Additionally, anticipated requests for double-digit rate hikes by major insurers, driven by escalating medical costs and a tight labor market, are expected to result in substantial out-of-pocket increases for employees.

The latest research suggests that divorce rates in the U.S. have been falling in recent decades. Still, many people face the difficult crossroads that comes when their marriage ends.

Getting a divorce is a painful, emotional process. Don’t be in such a hurry to reach a settlement that you make poor decisions that can have life-long consequences. For any of our Live Nation Entertainment clients who may possibly have to have a divorce, here are a few financial ideas that may help you prepare.

The most important task these Live Nation Entertainment employees can do is to get their finances organized. Identify all your assets and make copies of important financial papers, such as deeds, tax returns, and investment records. When it comes to dividing up your assets, consider mediation as a low-cost alternative to litigation. Most states have equitable-distribution laws that require shared assets to be divided 50/50 anyway. When a divorce becomes contentious, attorney’s fees can accumulate.

From a financial perspective, divorce means taking all the income previously used to run one household and stretching it out over two residences, two utility bills, two grocery lists, etc. There are other hidden costs as well, such as counseling for you or your children. Divorces also may require incurring one-time fees, such as a security deposit on a rental property, moving costs, or increased child-care.

Finally, dividing assets may sound simple but it can be quite complex. The forced sale of a home or investment portfolio may have tax consequences. Potential tax liability also can make two seemingly equal assets have varying net values. Additionally, when pulling apart a portfolio, it makes sense to consider how each asset will suit the prospective recipient in terms of risk tolerance and liquidity.
