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).

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.
Use this enrollment period to sign up for Medicare Part A and Part B at age 65 if: 1  you are retired or not working; or. 2  you do not have health insurance from an employer for whom you or your spouse is still working; or. 3  you live outside the United States and its territories and are not working.o sign up for Part A or B, call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 and make an appointment for an interview, which can be done on the phone or at your local Social Security office. If English is not your first language, you can request an interpreter at no charge.
