FILE - In this Nov. 12, 2014 file photo, the HealthCare.gov website, where people can buy health insurance, is seen on a laptop screen in Portland, Ore. Droves of people signing up for health insurance this weekend may not realize it, but their coverage under President Barack Obama&#8217;s law could be short lived. The 2015 enrollment season, which ends Sunday, thus far has avoided last year&#8217;s website meltdown. But a Supreme Court case could result in millions of consumers losing financial assistance for their premiums later in the year. (AP Photo/Don Ryan, File)
