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.

Most of the student insurance plans cover you for 12 months so you're covered from September 1-August 31. Assuming a mid-May graduation, that gives you at least a few months to find a job and get coverage (this is what happened to me). Even if you do need temporary coverage at the end of that time, you can usually get it through the school (or your alumni association) for a higher cost than if you were still a student, but for far less than going on the open market.
Does anyone actually think that the bill as it stands now will be implemented any time soon? I certainly don't, other than some of the immediate changes. We're (on both sides) getting all excited over something that's going to be very different in practice than in action.
