I am self employed and covered by my spouse's work health insurance. Can I deduct that premium? On Schedule C?

No.

Employer insurance is already pre-tax, so you can't deduct it again.  Also, employer insurance almost always disqualifies the Self Employed Health Insurance deduction (which shows up on Line 29 of Schedule 1, not on Schedule C).
