Sen. Richard Burr, (left) Sen. John McCain, and Sen. Mitch McConnell at a forum at a Charlotte hospital on Tuesday.

McCain, the Republican presidential nominee in 2008 linked to the low-res photograph from his Twitter feed. McConnell is the Senate minority leader.

The event, which was not open to the public, was held at Carolinas Medical Center.

Burr, up for re-election in 2010, has offered an alternative to Democratic health care reform proposals that would give tax credits of up to $5,700 for families to pay for health insurance.

The parent company of the hospital has been a big spender on health care lobbying.
