HealthCare.gov signup activity was much lower during the week ending Nov. 28 than in the comparable week in the open enrollment period for 2020 health coverage, according to new data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
This year, the fourth week of the open enrollment period included Thanksgiving. Last year, Thanksgiving occurred during the fifth week of the open enrollment period.
