Schools sending "fat letters" home with obese children

Across the country, 18 states are sending home so-called "fat letters" to alert parents their child's body mass index is unhealthy and doesn't make the grade. The notices are part of an effort to fight childhood obesity. There are plenty of parents who are angry. Just two weeks ago, Massachusetts stopped sending them home with kids due to concerns over self esteem and bullying. New York Times columnist Frank Bruni joins the panel and talks about his struggle with weight as a child.

Obamacare under fire

A report obtained by CNN shows the Obama administration was warned that healthcare.gov wasn't ready to go live. Meantime, for 15 million Americans, it looks like one of the president's mantras - 'if you like your health plan you can keep it' - may not be true. Does the White House have a message problem? The AC360 Later panel debates.

Surfing into the record books: "I had my heart coming out of my mouth"

Brazilian surfer Carlos Burle may have just surfed the largest wave on record. Some estimates suggest it was taller than 100 feet. If it is, it would break the previous record by more than 20 feet. Just before Burle caught that wave, he rescued a fellow surfer and friend who nearly drowned. Carlos Burle discussed all of this with Anderson.

Can President Obama keep his promises on health care?

Many Americans who want to keep their current insurance coverage are now finding out that they can't. Did President Obama know this would happen when he was selling the Affordable Care Act? Should he have known? Former Vermont Governor Dr. Howard Dean debates those questions with the Faith and Freedom Coalition President Ralph Reed.

Can you keep your insurance plan?

Many Americans are receiving letters from their insurance companies, canceling coverage and offering new Obamacare-compliant policies. They often cover more, but may also cost more.  Some will also get federal money meant to make up the difference, but that's not quite the same as previous promises that nothing will change. CNN's Jim Acosta has the latest.
