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.
State income tax payments are deductible on your federal income tax return. (You may deduct state income tax or sales tax, but not both.) Federal income tax payments are deductible on your state tax return in a tiny number of states.

NO The personal interest is never deductible on your 1040 federal income tax return
Absolutely not. Bankruptcy payments are repayments for debts that you incurred in the past and did not pay. There is no circumstances where these could be deductible on your income taxes.

Yes. State income (and net worth based) taxes are deductible from taxable income for Federal income tax purposes.
Not on personal leases, sometimes on business leases (as an expense).

Yes, it is. Long term care insurance premiums are tax deductible. Premium payments are considered to be medical expenses and they are deductible as long as the medical expenses exceed 7.5% of the individual's income.
