Yes, you can deduct medical insurance if you itemize and if the insurance was paid after tax (rather an pre tax), and the total expenses for you, your spouse, and your dependents exceed 10% of your adjusted gross income (7.5% if you're 65 or older as of December 31, 2016). The deduction is limited to the expenses above and beyond this amount.
