Can someone explain, in layman’s terms, the provision that makes it illegal to change your health insurance after this is implemented?

Per upchuck, going to the bill itself may provide more clarity.
So...
Page 16 of the House Health Care plan says:
“Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day of the year the legislation becomes law.”
