1) Most employer provided health insurance is deducted "pre-tax" so there is no deduction on the tax return.

2) Your parents must be your dependents (or would have been your dependents except for the gross income test) for you to take a deduction anyway. So, unless you are supporting them: No.

No, you can’t claim medical expenses, health insurance or any others, for a person who isn’t your dependent.
