Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026: In 2026, healthcare costs are projected to rise significantly, primarily due to a combination of escalating medical expenses and the potential expiration of federal premium subsidies. Reports indicate that health insurance premiums for Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans may increase by an average of 20%, with some states seeing hikes exceed 60%. Without congressional intervention, over 22 million enrollees could face out-of-pocket premium jumps of over 75%, exacerbating the financial burden on consumers. As the healthcare industry navigates these challenges, it's essential for individuals to prepare for heightened costs in the coming year. Click here to learn more

Are Carlyle Group employees responsible for the damage caused by a tree on their property that hits their neighbor’s home or other insured structure, such as a garage or shed?

In most cases, the answer is “no.”

When such damage occurs to your neighbor’s home due to forces outside your control (e.g., weather events), your neighbors may have to file a claim with their insurer to receive a reimbursement for the damage a fallen down tree caused.

There is one exception, however.

If it is determined that the tree damage stems from your negligence (e.g., dead limbs that you refused to cut down, or you chose to trim your tree as a weekend project), then the neighbor’s insurer may come after you to recover their loss—a process called subrogation.¹

You may want to check your policy or speak to your insurance agent to ascertain if your homeowner's policy covers your liability in cases of negligence.

Some neighbors may seek to bring legal action against you, though often that is unnecessary.

For those working at Carlyle Group, determine what municipal laws are in place to cover such instances. Generally speaking, you are not responsible unless you knew, or should have known, about the danger. Proving what you knew or should have known can be difficult and costly in a court of law. It typically benefits both parties to arrive at a compromise that avoids an expensive legal process.
