Does individual health insurance qualify for tax deduction?

I am employed, however i am paying my own personal health insurance instead of opting for the group insurance which my employer has since it worked out to be cheaper than group insurance. Now when i am filing my taxes can i claim medical insurance premium as tax deductible.

Healthcare Insurance Premiums are deductible as part of Medical and Dental expenses. Only the amount of all of your medical and dental expenses that exceeds 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income can be deducted. A better bet is to see if your employer offers a Section 125 Premium Conversion Plan (more commonly known as a "Cafeteria Plan", which would allow your employer to deduct the cost of the premiums pre-tax and send it directly to your insurance company. If your employer was willing to do this, then ALL of the money you spend on health insurance would be tax-free (not just income tax, but free of all OASDI, Medicare, and State taxes as well).
