Well...not exactly. (And as an aside, the medical benefit given to you when you were an employee wasn't taxable).

Medical costs, including health insurance (which is what COBRA is) are only deductible to the amount they exceed a fairly large (I believe its 7.5% ) of adjusted gross income. NOTE: Some States have a much lower threshold for their income tax.
