RALEIGH, N.C. -

North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr and other Republican leaders are offering a health care plan as an alternative to the one being pursued by President Barack Obama.

Burr will speak Wednesday morning on Capitol Hill about their new legislation. He'll hold a news conference with Republican Sen. Tom Coburn and Republican Reps. Paul Ryan and Devin Nunes.

Their plan would raise money by taxing health benefits and use the revenue to give people tax credits to buy their own care. The GOP lawmakers are offering the proposal as an alternative to Democratic efforts to cover millions of uninsured Americans by increasing the role of government.
