The 90 day wait is accurate. The 90 day clock starts on day one of training, not after your checkride or any other event. I don't recall how much it is for a family, but for a single person I pay around $75 a month plus some for dental.
With regards to COBRA. COBRA for me was outrageously expensive. I have had a lapse in insurance because of a job transition twice now, and the best thing for me was temporary insurance from a normal health insurance provider. COBRA wanted $350 a month just for me and coverage for 90 days put me over $1000! I went to ehealthinsurance.com and ended up paying around $100 a month. Hope this helps.
