I'm 18 and in April/May of 2007 I'll have an Associates degree if I stay in school a little longer in December 2008 I'll have a Bachelors degree in Health Care Management. I'll only be 20 and I'm trying to get all this school out the way now. What kinds of Masters degrees can I get? Is there anything higher than a Masters that I can earn in this field?

There are masters programs in public health (MPH), public policy (MPP), public administration (MPA) and health administration (MHA).
I did a MPH in epidemiology/biostatistics. I admit I am not especially experienced in health care management -- all I know is that I don't like it (nothing against you, though -- it's just an ugly system).
UC Berkeley has a dual degree program in MPP/MPH through their School of Public Health and Goldman School of Public Policy. I love Berkeley, and their program is very, VERY good. The program takes 3 years to complete.
USC (where I did my grad degree) has degree programs for MHA and MPH. They are very good about letting students craft special degrees, so I am sure with some negotiation, you could do dual MPH/MHA. I did my MPH in 3 semesters, so I'm sure fitting a MHA in there wouldn't be that much more time-consuming.

Wow - congrats that's a real achievement!
When I was looking for a Masters program I did a lot of searches on the internet and found one that met my criteria for a Masters in Technical Communications. I would not limit myself to looking in just Health Care as you may find something related in an MBA Program with a Health Care Focus, or you may want to look at a Masters of Health Care Information if you like IT. Since you are completing all the education at once you may need to take an entrance exam like the GRE. Best you - you've got a lot of time to find the right program -
