After reading through your situation, you should report the Social Security income for your wife even though it was all spent for Medicare premiums.
You are correct in your thinking that it is better to include the Social Security income and claim the deduction for the Medicare premiums even though it does increase your tax liability. Doing so is filing a more accurate tax return.
