Today EMBARQ announced significant changes to three areas of our retiree benefits program

— medical coverage, life insurance and the matching gifts program.

Recent developments in the Medicare marketplace make it more practical and efficient for

Medicare-eligible individuals to purchase medical coverage directly through a national carrier

or one of the many companies who specialize in the Medicare market than for EMBARQ to

provide this coverage.
