W2 - Self-employed health insurance deduction?

Hello, I may find myself in the situation where I become a salaried employee for a company that does not offer health insurance.

 

This means that I will have to purchase insurance from Healthcare.gov.  Everything I see online says if you are self-employed and purchase through Healthcare.gov, you can deduct the premiums on your taxes without itemizing.  

 

Am I stuck in a niche area where I will get stuck paying full taxes on my premiums because I'm neither self-employed, nor offered insurance through my employer?

 

Thanks
