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're at least 62 and have worked at least 10 years in Medicare-covered employment, your spouse can get Part A and Part B at 65. If you've worked at least 10 years in Medicare-covered employment but aren't yet 62 when your spouse turns 65, they won't be eligible for premium-free Part A until your 62nd birthday.In this case, your spouse should still apply for Part B at 65, so they can avoid paying a higher Part B premium.or example, if you donât sign up until after youâve met all the requirements, your coverage could begin up to 12 months before the month you apply. If you're covered by an employer group health plan, your Medicare coverage will still start the fourth month of dialysis treatments.
