    Description

      I feel like this might have been debated in the past, but requiring CarePlan.text is really something that we don't like and don't intend to support as is probably intended.  We also see risk in supporting narratives overall.   See https://chat.fhir.org/#narrow/stream/179175-argonaut/topic/FHIR-29777 for some discussion on that.

       

      For now, we are just going to do some gymnastics to comply with the letter of the profile, but we are knowingly deviating significantly from the intent.  Because we don't like the intent.

       

      Anyway, my proposal is to remove the 1..1 cardinatlity requirement for CarePlan.text from US Core.  I think based on the US Core definition of must support, you could leave that, but since we don't have CarePlan narrative, we wouldn't have anything so we wouldn't be bound by must support.
