You can actually apply for marketplace but I suggest not to apply for advanced tax credit because their GC is still in process. They will get tax credit anyway during tax filing so there is no loss. It should not hurt their gc process as healthcare is basic need. In fact, with recent law they can not even deny GC application even if they take advanced tax credit. Marketplace is state program not the federal program.
Marketplace will ask the immigration document and I think EAD should be sufficient. Also you should not worry about deadline because those deadline is applicable for only those who already has gc or citizenship. If they get gc, let's say in July, then it is considered "Life Changing event" and in that case they can apply at that time.
Other options are medicaid but they are not qualified because they have to complete 5 years here in US with GC. If you really need to take them to clinic, you can take them to community clinic which will treat them almost free. Hope it helps.
