California’s Obamacare marketplace is enrolling 15,000 people a day, the Washington Post reported — double the rate that the website was seeing in early December.

It’s an indication of the burgeoning interest that Obamacare advocates were hoping for ahead of the Dec. 23 deadline to sign up for coverage that starts on Jan. 1. New York is enrolling 4,500 people per day, according to the Post, and Connecticut reported 1,400 enrollments daily.

No figures are available for HealthCare.gov and its 36 states, but the Obama administration did leak reports of nearly 30,000 enrollments in the first two days of December, more than the troubled federal site saw in all of October.
