Former Republican presidential candidate John McCain is coming to North Carolina to speak about health care alongside two other GOP senators.

McCain will join North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell at event in Charlotte on Tuesday morning. McCain and McConnell are traveling around the country to discuss health care and take questions from those involved in the debate.

The GOP legislators have been mounting a challenge to the plan offered by President Barack Obama that would create a government option to compete with private insurers. Burr's plan would raise money by taxing health benefits and use the revenue to give people tax credits to buy their own care.
