it looks to me like the best option is selecting Cobra for 18 months, then sliding over to the high deductible plan (that is, if you were in the buy up plan already). Cobra costs are significantly less than paying for the buyup.

Also, if you have the Purple plan, you get the $4000 plus whatever you contribute towards the yearly limit to pay any medical costs before or after retirement.
