my dad put me & my sister on his health insurance without me knowing & I’m being told i can’t remove myself until i’m 26?

long story short –

my dad hasn’t been our lives since we were about three/four years old, we are now 20 & 21. i had found out last year that my dad had put us on his health insurance which ended up interfering with the health insurance that we were already on leading it to go inactive. i had called blue cross & asked if we can be removed & they said only he has permission to do that. i called his job and asked & i was told the same thing. in january his health insurance changed to united healthcare & i’m still being told we cannot be removed without his permission. there’s no way of contacting him, he does not respond to us & even blocked my sister when she messaged him on facebook asking him to remove us, he replied with “he cannot.” we found out he’s collecting for us every year & has been since 2022. we have been using his health insurance because we have no choice, we need to go appointments but the amount of bills being sent to us is actually absurd. is him putting us on his health insurance without us knowing & is refusing to remove us against our will illegal?? we want to take him to court but we don’t have money for a lawyer… is there any other options?
