Unless you are itemizing your return, then you would not be able to get a deduction for the health insurance premiums. Medical expenses are only deductible for the amount in excess of 7.5% of your AGI. So, if your AGI is $100,000, only your medical expenses over $7,500 will count towards your Itemized Deductions.
If you are not itemizing your deductions, then you cannot take a deduction for your premiums.
Two things...1) Be sure your employer did not include the premiums in your box 1 wages. They generally do not.
2) It would be easier (if they are willing) to get them to send you a corrected W2 that does not include your premiums in your box 1 wages.
