Yes, it appears that President Obama is gearing up to twist Obamacare like Gumby yet again.
Fox News reports:
The latest delay, expected to be announced as early as next week, would allow insurers to continue selling insurance plans that would otherwise be banned under the law. Fox News has confirmed the extension, first reported by The Hill.
It is unclear how long the extension will be, though one unidentified source told the Hill it could last to the end of Obama's second term, and possibly beyond.
The extension would ease pressure on Democratic candidates in the midterm elections by avoiding another wave of health policy cancellations expected this fall.

Wake up, GOP. Yet again.
Is there any political party more lifeless than the current GOPe? If they ever get fired from Congress, they should be employed demonstrating Tempurpedic mattresses.
“The reults from Texas yesterday are none too encouraging.”
10% of Republicans voted. Unbelievable statistic when so much is at stake.
Movies and TV shows like The Walking Dead show that even the lifeless have a lot more fight in them than the GOPe.
GOP, you will never get another dime from me. You are a disgrace!
Wake up gOp! You're worse than useless!
90% of republicans must like the evil domination and horrible economic situation that exists today. I expected MORE out of Texas.
The GOP doesn't have to present an alternative version of universal healthcare (Obamacare.) The Dems will tear it apart and the focus will shift to the proposed Rep version rather than Obamacare.
Developing an alternative will require bipartisan support and a lengthy, rigorous debate through the legislative process--not ramming it down the throat of the American people. I doubt there is a GOP consensus on an alternative save some basic principles.
The Dems are the ones demanding the alternative. The Reps shouldn't fall for it.
Realistically, there are only 2 things they can do.
1) Impeach him
2) Shut off the money (which will shut down the government)
The media has them deathly afraid to go near either one.
I think the reason for the GOP leadership’s inexplicable lack of effective opposition to Obamacare is that the corporatist donor base has told them they are transitioning out of the employee healthcare business. And the corporatists insist the government provide cover for this. So the GOP establishment apparently believes the win-win strategy is token opposition to ACA while permitting its continuing implementation.
The only change that would've mattered would have been to defund it. Only conclusion....the 'pubs still want Obamacare, but in a form in which their cronies profit.
