Deductions & credits

Yes, you can claim your COBRA premiums under Medical Expenses.  However, you are correct about the 10% limitation; you can only deduct the amount that is over 10% of your income. 

 

So unless you have other deductions as well, like Mortgage Interest, Real Estate Tax, Charitable Donations, that totalled would put you over the Standard Deduction amount ($12,200 for Single), you will not get the benefit of deducting your premiums.
