Deductions & credits

So does that mean even if I were to choose Option 3, I would still not be able to deduct my medical insurance expenses on my tax return?
Yes, that's what it means. The article is talking about the Self-Employed Health Insurance deduction for people who are self-employed. That would include a single-member LLC (provided that the LLC does not elect to be treated as an S corp). But you cannot claim that deduction if your spouse is eligible for employer-subsidized health insurance. Almost all employer-provided health insurance is subsidized by the employer. It doesn't matter whether your spouse is actually enrolled in the employer-subsidized health insurance. Just being eligible for it prevents you from taking the Self-Employed Health Insurance deduction.
Your best option is probably to go on your spouse's employer-provided insurance.
