beyond the bustle of the big city is an undiscovered paradise called "california country." >> when you of small coastal towns in california, you think of beautiful beaches, but in pescadero, a town about 33 miles from santa cruz, something else is bringing in the tourists. that's right, goats. welcome to harley goat farm in san mateo county, where alpine goats are the star attractions. dee harley runs this 9-acre farm, looking after about 200 goats. this is the only dairy in the county. >> it's not that i had this dream of having a goat farm. i think i was always going to be a farmer of some kind. i grew up in northern england in yorkshire and it was a very rural place. so, i was always attracted to that lifestyle, i just didn't necessarily think it would manifest with goats, you know? >> like many of the cheese makers in california, it's all largely done by hand. although a vegetable rennin culture is added to the pasteurized milk, to give it the initial yogurt texture. the mixture is collected in cheesecloth bags and the resulting curds are left to hang in them for about 2 days. afte

california is wine. the golden state is america's top wine producer, accounting for nearly 90% of the wine production in the country. today california actually has more than 2,000 wineries, but surprisingly, some of the biggest wines are now being produced by one of the smallest group of vintners, one of those being at vision cellars, owned and operated by mac mcdonald. the winery only produces about 2,000 cases of wine, mostly pinot noir, but what thei lack in size, they more than make up with in personality, thanks to the man in charge. >> ha ha ha ha ha! how you doin', man? >> i'm doin' great. >> are you havin' a great time >> havin' a great time. >> in the wine business, everyone is trying to get their bottle of wine noticed, but for mac mcdonald, being noticed in a crowd has never been a oblem. from his overalls to his straw hat, mac is about as an original character to the wine industry as it comes, but he's banking on exactly that fact as he tries to bridge the gap between his heritage and a new blend of wine drinkers. >> it's to promote wine to all nationalities, but with special interest on the african-ame

specifically, they've seen the demographics of california change dramatically because of illegal immigration as well. what's going to happen to the country if california is no longer reagan country or nixon can country, it's now via rah goes saw country? >> right. >> what's going to happen to the rest of the country if there is no stop, if we don't throw the brakes on? >> no, it's horrifying. as always, california is leading the rest of the country. you guys used to lead us on things like property tax limits.

discipline of individuals and bringing up the restorative justice model earlier and in california and the country and vast disparities from people suspended and expelled from schools and african-american base and a teenos and often expelled or suspended for things that would typically not merit that type of reaction from administration and authorities at the very least, so in the last panel and this panel i was thinking about social and emotional learning and i see that as a double entand ra. i think it's also a negative thing and this is why. there is a lot of social and emotional learning going on in these schools and especially around the group of individuals suspended and expelled at alarming rates and things of lesser things and goes back to messaging. what type of messaging situations are we imparting on these kids that get suspended for a couple of days and feel guilty or don't have the opportunity to express themselves and for the social emotional training they didn't receive up to that point? and don't know how to deal with it and get in trouble for reacting the way the culture decides i

reimbursement associated with medicare and medical. >> various reports from all around the country, california being such a big state. bob, let me ask you a big one. small group insurance, all right, they are going to get there -- we talked about this last night but they are going to get their renewal slips. they are going to have the very large, as i understand it, 30 to 40% premium increases. what if they say no, bob? what if they decide they'd rather pay the penalty and go off on their own? >> you're absolutely right, larry. what is going on is the next shoe in obama care is dropping. just this week, the january 2014 small group renewals went out. i'm talking about brokers around the court and they are receiving them and the rate increases are pretty stiff. the people in the small group, under 50 memployee markets have to have the same individual market. these mandates, the small employers now are getting the same thing. and so you've got a lot of small employers that are thinking about continuing their insurance and they are getting hit hard. >> all right. so those funds have not come in.

those row tests have spread across california now and across the country. >> reporter: 13-year-old lopez was killed by a sheriff's deputy on october 22nd, and the teen was holding a replica assault weapon when he was shot. >> we won't let our children and friends and our sons, you know, our students killed just for being somewhere and looking the way they are and that somebody thinks it's okay to kill them because of that reason. >> this little boy was shot nine times by a weapon specialist because he was carrying a toy. it's very transparent, what happened in his case, and it's important for us to stand up and make a lot of noise. >> this is a problem that's happening nationally so there needs to be a movement behind it. >> reporter: why is it that this message is so profound? the reality is that the case of lopez happens on a daily basis in so many of our communities. you just don't hear about it. >> reporter: reporting in san francisco, kron four news. >> it wasn't just san francisco. lopez' parents filed a federal lawsuit accusing the sheriff's deputy of reckless behavior over the pa

i want to be around and i want to be effective. >> why so much pushback just not in california, but across the countryith regards of medical marijuana? >> because the pharmaceutical companies want to keep us so wrapped up in taking the pills and just pushing, pushing, pushing and against what is natural and what we can do for ourselves and how to find new ways to stay healthy and this whole mindset that you feel the pain and you go to the doctor and you go to take a pill, and that is supposed to make you well. so, i just really think it is about money. >> sondra may have a point, because 3/4 of americans are in favor of medical marijuana. 18 states in washington, d.c. have formally legalized it for medical use, and 14 states have decriminalized pot, and most recently washington and colorado have outright legalized it altogether. so if the country seems to be in favor of decriminalizing marijuana and legalizing it for medical use why is the federal government so steadfast in the opposition? well, one reason could be the lobbyists. the alcohol industry, for-profit prisons and rehab centers stand to lose

but many still have hope it will lead to a healthier california and a healthier country. today we're going to talk to some experts who better understand these complicated changes and provide you with local resources to find out what the right health care choices are for you and your family. the current enrollment process for the affordable care act has been plagued with major problems as you probably have heard. recently the president announced a new plan to try to fix this problem. and he did so while taking the blame over and over again. abc news reporter jim oliver filed this report from washington. >> reporter: 52 minutes of contrition. how many ways can the president apologize for the obama care rollout? we counted 29. >> i do make apologies for not having executed better. >> that's on me. that's something i deeply regret. >> we did fumble the ball on it. i feel deeply responsible. >> reporter: white house aide tell abc news the president told his staff in a series of meetings, this is no ordinary problem. these mitstakes undercut his credibility, the web site and ca

i wasment born in the united statesment i came to this country, to california, when i was a 10-year-old with a single mother and two small brothers living in a motel. my first experience at public school, i must have had a kick me sign on my back because being difficult, as you would understand, made me a target and that imprint stayed with me for many years and guided me in a very dysfunctional angry self-loathing kind of way as many children do. today, 160,000 kids are not in public school because they are afraid of what someone might say or do to them. so that lives in me and like some of you and your own stories, i was fortunate enough to use it to become a teacher, a principal, and assistant superintendent of public schools and now a nonprofit director whose single mission is to do what we're doing to make sure kids go to school where they feel safe and included. one of my personal stories of value, it helps to connect us because, i don't want to speak in cliche, but it's harder it -- to hate somebody when you know their story. common ground doesn't necessarily make us best friends

>> reporter: scott, there are more than 5.5 million people in california that are uninsured, the largest in the country. it was always expected that california would enroll the most people in obamacare. california was also the first state to set up a health care exchange and got hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding to build the system that is now known as covered california. now, the goal here in the golden state is to enroll up to 700,000 people in private health plans by april 1. so far, 35,000 people have signed up, so at the current pace, it would take more than a year and a half to reach that goal. however, today the head of covered california did say those enroll. s are picking up. he said since november 1, 2000 people a day are signing up and that is double the pace of october. >> pelley: been, thanks very much. now back to the technical problems with healthcare.gov. some of the administration's top computer experts appeared today before a house committee that was demanding to know what went wrong. nancy cordes is on capitol hill for us tonight. nancy? >> reporter: scott, these are

gerri: left friendly, california, their income tax went up on. >> they have highest income tax rates in the country states might have high income taxes and low sales taxes, california hits all of the buttons high income tax, high sale tax, you may payton pay, 1n purchases and their gas tax is expensive. gerri: connecticut, i did not realize their property taxes were out of control, they rank up there. >> property taxes are high in a platt rate and percentage of home value. they have high property taxes, high sales taxes, annual car taxes they are determined by locality that can be as high as $800 a year on a $17,000 car, and connecticut has an estate tax too. gerri: that must support, roads and highways? what is the car tax for? >> it varies, so i assume it goes into the covers of the -- coffers of the town, we're getting at, are you getting what you pay for, some peopler happy to pay the higher property taxes if they have great schools or higher gas taxes with great roads, but if you are not seeing the payoff, think about are you getting your money's worth. gerri: great, and new jersey number 3 on

health care only has a small share of california's insurance market but they left out that united health care is the biggest health insurance company in the countryand the reason they pulled out of california is the same reason they're only joining exchanges in a handful of states. they believe the exchanges will attract too many sick people and not enough healthy people. the ceo told his investors, quoting here, there will be access by those who have had a pent-up appetite for insurance. and we are approaching them with some degree of caution. and now we know, megyn, that to participate in the california exchange, then qualify for those federal subsidies, insurance companies had to agree to cancel their plans that do not qualify under obama care. so when you hear this phrase that the insurance companies are voluntarily and choosing to cancel these, it is not true, at least in california. and by all of our research, edie sunby lost her health insurance and she lost her doctors because of the affordable care act. >> can you repeat that last part about california and what they told the insurance companies? >> california struck a deal and the insura
