Don't take the suggestions harshly, they are mean't to help. Ultimately I, and i'm assuming almost everyone here, will be happy to help regardless of your decision of major/school/career. This is a TON of information to take in! You can take suggestions or leave them. If here long enough you'll likely get conflicting ones. The suggestions are based primarily to try to save you money/frustration/time.
There is nothing to prove here, I can assure you. There is nothing wrong with your choice of healthcare, but the goal is to make sure your path lines up with your ultimate goal and not one that includes extra work that is unneeded. Some of the degree names are very misleading. My understanding of a Healthcare management degree (very limited understanding), is that it is a degree primarily designed to move hospitial staff into management positions (Nurse to Administrator). If it doesn't meet the pre-reqs for graduate school, you will have to take additional classes after your degree is received.
