Do you really mean Thirty Two THOUSAND dollars?
besides yourself who are you insuring? did you actually pay that amount and it's not payroll deductions or an amount on some form? we really don't have enough info to give you an answer.
If you are itemizing your deductions, you can deduct only the part of your medical and dental expenses that exceeds 7.5% of the amount of your adjusted gross income.
Per IRS:
To the extent you weren't reimbursed in calculating your total medical expenses, you can include what you paid for Insurance premiums for medical and dental care, including premiums for qualified long-term care insurance contracts as defined in Pub. 502. But see Limit on long-term care premiums you can deduct , later. Reduce the insurance premiums by any self-employed health insurance deduction you claimed on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 17. You can't include insurance premiums paid by making a pre-tax reduction to your employee compensation because these amounts are already being excluded from your income by not being included in box 1 of your Form(s) W-2. If you are a retired public safety officer, you can't include any premiums you paid to the extent they were paid for with a tax-free distribution from your retirement plan.
