1. Allowing low-income adults to get free private coverage through the ACA exchange.

Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., plans to introduce legislation as early as next week that would back this approach and substantially increase financial incentives for Medicaid expansion in holdout states, Politico said.
3. A hybrid model that would allow marketplace customers to receive free coverage while federal officials address problems with the two previous options in creating a new program.
