I think there was some exception for college kids, but I was way too oblivious around that time to remember.

i was kicked off it just before the ACA was signed, about a year later i started developing swelling for a year which suddenly became severe tooth pain nuearlgia, turns out part of my tooth had decayed away and need an RC proecudre asap. i was able to get back under parents insurance, by then i already lost 2 years of potential healthcare and had less 2 years left before being kicked off again.
