have you been lying to the peak will of minnesota -- to the people of minnesota? >> i have not.id not say those things. the president was engaged in wishful thinking. let's talk about what the affordable care act has done in minnesota. we have reduced by 40% the number of uninsured. 95% of minnesotans are insured, in the country. mr. mcfadden wants to repeal the affordable care act, he has ran on that the whole time. he wants to repeal it. we have to fix the things that are wrong with it, but built of the things that are right. if you repeal, we would go back to square one and you would have people with pre-existing conditions being able to get coverage without paying a penalty. women would have to pay more for their health care just because they are a woman. people who have gone through their lifetime cap or annual cap would be thrown off their health care again. kate, a mom, whose daughter has cystic fibrosis said her daughter is alive because they got rid of the caps. >> you have made it a big part of your campaign. you said you want to keep pre-existing conditions and keep 2

in minnesota, this is what we did. and maybe this is too pollyanna, but in minnesota we have limits on what you can spend on an election, actual limits. when i ran for the state senate for the first time, our limit with something like $50,000. to me, as a young mom and kitchen table maker, i thought $50,000 was the moon and the stars. i thought how would i raise that kind of money? today i have his distinction as the member of congress who has raised more money for a house seat than any other member of congress. i did that because i was always pelosi's top target to defeat and i didn't want her to win, i wanted to win, and people were very generous. over $2 million in a two-year election cycle. that is crazy money, crazy get -- that is crazy that any candidate should have to raise that kind of money. so i think the question is a great one because money is buying influence, rather than real people going to the polls. so one would be limits, caps on how much could be spent. the other idea that i have heard in california,
