I don't think that's how it works. During the open enrollment period, you can enroll for any reason or for no reason. Normally, you should enroll before the start of the year and then your coverage is for that year. Just in case you're too busy to get it done while Christmas shopping, the open enrollment period goes a little bit into the new year. That's what they keep extending.

But even after the open enrollment period, if you lose your job, get divorced, get married, or have some other life event, you can still enroll. At least that's the way it normally works.
