The 26 cut-off doesn't impress me that much because so many states offer it until 25 even if you're not a student and if you are, you can get lower cost insurance through your school.

Fully agree. I am getting another degree and can be on my parents' insurance until I'm 25. And the school does offer low cost insurance plans for students...in fact part of our student facilities fees go towards a plan that covers the basics for every student. The only advantage I see would be for a recent grad school graduate who needed a little extra time to afford the insurance or find a job that provided it.
