He then  adds - that he disagrees - that it is better that one tries to

My sense is that this is actually a quite radical position  - which
reflects the reality and comfort of depending on others to  fulfill
vital functions - and therefore reflects ways in which current  reality
seep into all aspects of psak.



FWIW, R A Z Weiss is a prominent ( Charedi) Posek and Talmidie Chacham  whose 
shiur in Ramot Gimmel attracts a huge breadth of various hashkafos among  
those attend the same. I highly recommend R A Z Weiss's many seforiim to anyone  
interested in a wonderful discussion of the halachic issues implicated therein 
 via s jumping off from the Parsha ,etc.
 
As far as the issue raised, one raise the following issue vis a vis whether  
one should have a "Shomer Shabbos residency" or not or whether one should 
enter  a profession if it will entail Chillul Shabbos on a regular basis IIRC, 
this  issue has been discussed , etc among RIETS's RY with differing 
views-depending  on the quality of the residency, whether one should lchatchilah enter a  
profession or branch of medicine  where Chullul Shabbos on a regular basis  
will be part of one's family life.. Why is insisting upon on's civil  liberties 
and rights which are constitutionally guaranteed, at least in the US,  "a  
quite radical position" ?
