Can I still claim a deduction if my parents helped me pay health insurance premiums?

During January-April 2015, I had several short-term health insurance plans. My parents helped pay for these. Can I claim these as medical expenses on "Deductions & Credits", even though I didn't pay for them?

You cannot deduct premiums paid by your parents.  Unfortunately, you can only include in medical expenses the amounts that you paid.
