Can my husband claim me as dependent if I have no job?

NO ... a spouse can never be claimed as a dependent. You simply file a joint return no matter who makes the income.

he cobra payments can be deducted as medical expenses if the return uses itemize deductions rather than the standard deduction. only medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of adjusted gross income re deductible.
