Am I being screwed on health insurance

So I started a job in October for a engineering consulting firm and work for a huge construction manufacturer in their engineering / purchasing department. I received the open enrollment deadline email in November less than a month starting and signed up for the benefit of health insurance, but apparently signed up for new hire in year 2022. I just found out today after not being able to use insurance that it was because I did new hire even know I followed the link the company sent they are saying I didn’t do open enrollment, but I was under the impression that what I signed up for was 2023. So now I have no health insurance for 2023 and will have to pay out of pocket. I made it known to the partners at the firm that I’m very unhappy with how this was handled but they are saying there…

I made it known to the partners at the firm that I’m very unhappy with how this was handled but they are saying there is nothing they can do. I love the large company I work for and see a good career but cannot pay out of pocket 400 every month for insurance. I have a 1:1 with my boss at the company tomorrow should I bring up how unhappy I am with the firm and how they are handling the situation? Should I suck it up And pay for insurance or should I quit? I feel like they should have worked on this with me ahead of time. They sent company wide reminders out but I was under the impression it was complete. The parter also told me the solution is to go under my parents insurance (not an option) I feel like I’m being screwed over here.
