This is all part of the Republican campaign of lies to make people afraid that they will be forced to give up the insurance they presently have. No proposal that I'm aware of would have required someone to be moved into the public system if their carrier changed their policy. On the other hand, I think some proposals gave people that option. Now, since it appears that any public option we might get will be means tested, I doubt there will be a provision even remotely like you describe.
