Deductions & credits

"Only your total medical expenses greater then 10% of your AGI can be deducted"  so, are premiums a medical expense?  i've read numerous articles on this and they seem to imply, yes they are, but when any of these articles  list qualified medical expenses, premiums are never -  ever - listed.  It seems they aren't an actual  "medical expense", but for tax purposes it sounds like they are and do count toward the goal to exceed the 10% when you can start deducting.  Can you be the first to answer this?
