Can I deduct medicare health premiums in self employed business expenses and also in personal expenses?

[CathiM · Accepted solution]

No, you can't deduct them in both places.  Medicare premiums can be used as self-employed health insurance premiums, which often gives taxpayers the bigger break.  See which place gives you the most deduction. They come directly off your income as self-employed health insurance, whereas Schedule A medical expenses are limited by 7.5% of AGI.
