    I filled out a form wrong and didn’t have healthcare this entire year. I tried to fix it and my company told me sorry, the period for enrollment is over, wait until the end of the year to enroll for next year. Found out when I went to buy a prescription and they started asking me a bunch of questions and then charged me 150% of the normal cost. Good thing I stayed (relatively) healthy this year!

      I think a change in employment is a qualifying life event, so you may be able to apply for a part time job, change insurance, and immediately quit. I’d look into this more before trying it though lol. It might be considered fraud.
