The federal government says health insurance sign-ups through HealthCare.gov slowed over Thanksgiving week.

Wednesday’s report said a little more than 300,000 people picked a plan from Nov. 22 through Nov. 28, the start of the holiday shopping season.

That compared to more than 460,000 the previous week, but a Thanksgiving slowdown was expected.

So far at least 765,000 people have enrolled for 2015. About half are new customers and half were changing or updating current coverage.

The numbers include only the 37 states using the federal website.

Dec. 15 is the deadline to sign up for coverage effective Jan. 1.

The Obama administration wants 9.1 million people signed up for 2015. Current customers will be automatically renewed if they make no changes.

Open enrollment runs through Feb. 15.
