Can we end this shutdown by setting aside a place for those who do not want the ACA?

I believe that there is a solution that makes everyone happy. If we can create a city or area to experiment certain laws like the ACA then everyone can see if it will work in the end.
We could separate society based on which laws and programs they want to obey and pay for. So for the affordable care act we could create experimental zones where the law and program will be in effect. That way people who want it can go to those places and people who do not want the program can stay where they are. Cities could be created with unique laws like the affordable care act. These zones could be supplemented by border culture mixing zones where people who fundamentally disagree with each other can synthesize their fundamental differences of belief. Constant communication between those differing zones would be required to keep the peace and to challenge deeply held beliefs and spread good ideas.
I have thought about making a nature mimicking plan for the US society to follow if they choose to. It will include building "Social Contract" Communities and cities where people must agree to obey a set of laws and rules that restrict the ability to harm others and require people to make progress for society rather than serving individual interests exclusively.
10/2/2013, 7:16 PM The country is divided so why should we continue to live together when this is only causing government shutdowns and gridlocks. We need to compromise by letting those who do not want a law to affect them to have a place to go where the law will not affect them. If they do not want to help the poor then they can go to a city where they do not care for the poor or care for the poor with out government. Eventually the places with ineffective laws will perish and those with good laws will succeed.

Welcome to DP! :2wave:
I think the SCOTUS decision to let states opt out basically did this.

The problem is being created by the house of representative's districts not states or state senators, because the senate is mostly democratic so decisions pass through them more efficiently. We need solutions that satisfy those house republicans. What solution do you guys propose?
