The quintessential American food may be apple pie, but its popularity pales beside our national love affair with pizza pies. The Daily reports that Americans consume a staggering 100 acres of pizza a day, according to data from the National Association of Pizza Operators (NAPO). Here's a by-the-numbers look at our compulsion:
Most people enroll in Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (doctor visits and other outpatient services) during their seven-month initial enrollment period (IEP) around the time they turn 65.
If you are 65 or older (and get benefits from Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board), you are automatically eligible for Medicare Part B. Your Medicare Part B coverage starts on the first day of the month you turn 65. You also should receive your Medicare card in the mail three months before your 65th birthday.
