Corps already force people off policies every time they change it. Outside of that, nobody is forced to change anything.
More expensive? Well medicare costs money and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than insurance over your life, like an extreme amount cheaper.
What you're going to see is millions of people dumping over priced, normally total crap corp provided insurance for a much larger, much more stable, insurance pool that will be far cheaper, just like all mass insurance is.

You live in a fantasy world. Around 3 million people will lose medicare under Obama care. I would call that a change of policy. 30,000 New Yorkers have already lost their coverage because of Obamacare. Maine is exempt from Obamacare because it is going to skyrocket the cost there.
If small businesses shop around for the cheapest insurance coverage, and buy it they will lose the "grandfather" clause meaning they will have to change all their employees coverages. Millions of people (some say up to 85 million people) will have their coverage change because of this and most of the cost will be passed to the employee. IE cost goes up.
It would have been very simple to make costs go down over night. Let people buy insurance over state lines. Cost would have went down. But god forbid that happens!
