As a self employed, federal retiree, can I deduct health insurance premiums as a business expense?

Self employed health care premiums paid with out of pocket funds are reported as adjustment to income on Form 1040 Line 29.  You must have a net profit from your self employment for the health care premiums to be deducted.
