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.
Your Medicare card will be mailed to you about 3 months before your 65th birthday. If you don't want Part B, follow the instructions that come with the card. If you're not getting disability benefits and Medicare when you turn 65, contact Social Security to sign up for Medicare.
