What are you seeing in that article that’s any different than what the President previously announced? The only thing that stood out to me was a couple sentences on proposals concerning religious self-insurers, something that hadn’t been covered in the President’s statement. The article isn’t really detailed enough for me to really evaluate those propasals though:

The details are lacking because what’s being put forth currently is just a bare bones proposal, opening a 90 day public comment period. It looks like an olive branch being offered out to the bishops, in the hopes of bringing them to the table to hash out something that will make them happy. It’s a fool’s gamble, as they’re not interested in compromise, else they’d have accepted the initial revision of the mandate.
