I'm told that an accountant would only use the headings "Credit" and 
"Debit" whereas GNUCash uses headings based on account type that are 
hopefully more intuitive for non-accountants.  If "Rebate" doesn't sound 
right for your Health Care account, it may be that you have the Health 
Care account set to the wrong type.  From the main window, click on the 
Health Care account, then click the "Edit" button.  You should find a 
scroll window with different account types such as "Bank," "Credit Card" 
and "Liability."  Changing the type will yield different headings in the 
account window.  If you have the wrong account type set, changing it may 
give you a more intuitive heading.
