A woman who told her husband that she does not want to be supported by him and does not want to work, and her salary is transferred to her account, is the husband obligated to cover her medical expenses (medicines at the pharmacy, etc.), or is her medical care considered part of her support from which he is exempt?

Hello,
The obligation to provide medical care is considered as part of support.
