Beginning with 2001, new retirees were charged the expected full cost of the medical plan and then-existing
retirees will incur 100 percent of the expected future increases in medical plan costs. Any changes in the health care
cost trend rates assumed would not affect the accumulated benefit obligation or net benefit income, since retirees will
incur 100 percent of such expected future increases.
