right before the ACA you could stay on til you were 24 i think through cobra if you were in college in my state. it was pretty nice since i decided to start using the insurance for realsies right before my 18th birthday, which was more expensive than college funnily enough.
Oh yeah, cobra was a nightmare, I was on that for a few months and I think it was something like $500/month? Which was absolutely bonkers in mid 00s dollars. Staying on the insurance while in college without paying for cobra was a perk that my dad’s job offered, so it was cheaper for me to be in college than not if I wanted healthcare.
When I was in college, the university provided Healthcare. Sure we had to go to the student health center but the doctors were professors in the med school.

my undergrad didn’t offer a student plan but my grad program did. so i bounced a bit.
