At issue is the Medicare prescription benefit’s “catastrophic” protection. Experts say it was intended as a safeguard but isn’t working that way, either for beneficiaries or taxpayers. Catastrophic protection was enacted before the advent of drugs costing $1,000 a pill. It kicks in after beneficiaries have spent about $5,100 on medications, under a complex formula. After that, the beneficiary is only responsible for 5 percent of the cost of the medication, and taxpayers’ share rises to 80 per- cent. The patient’s insurer covers the remaining 15 percent. The problem for beneficiaries is that there’s no dollar limit to what they must pay. For example, 5 percent of a drug that costs $200,000 a year works out to $10,000. Numerous experts also say there’s a problem for taxpayers. Generally, the Medicare prescription benefit is financed with a mix of government subsidies and beneficiary premiums.

Your manager could be stressed TNT — Oklahoma City at Denver over things in his home life, spread thinner at work than you realize or even battling his own mental health issues. Whatever the cause of his moodiness, it’s not you. So do your best not to take it personally. Develop a healthy sense of detachment -- an umbrella to keep you dry no matter your boss’s emotional weather. I also recommend seeing a therapist regularly, if you’re Entertainment not already, and talking through this with him or her. He or she could help you erect healthy boundaries and manage your anxi- ety. Lastly, if your boss’s moodiness escalates and he lashes out at you or behaves in any way that would constitute harassment, document the incidents and go to human resources.

HINTS FROM HELOISE Take heed of speed Dear Readers: SPEEDING is a big factor in automobile accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (www.nhtsa.gov), excessive speed was a factor in 1 out of 4 fatal acci- dents in 2017. The problem? Speeding reduces reaction time, making a collision more likely. Wet or icy roads, glancing at a cellphone, not wearing a seat belt and alcohol and/or drug use also contribute to dangerous driv- ing. Driving within the posted speed limits is safer -- a good habit to practice. -- Heloise P.S. The posted speed limit is for ideal road conditions. Bad weather? Slow down more, and drive in the right-hand lane of the highway. FLAG FINDER Dear Heloise: My husband had a brilliant idea recently when we Bradley Cooper, right, congratulates Lady Gaga in the audience after she is announced winner for best original song took a vacation.
