No, you cannot claim a tax deduction for health insurance if you are paying for the plan through an employer's "cafeteria plan". The cafeteria plan is taking the money from your paycheck before any taxes are applied, so you are already getting the cost paid with tax-free dollars. You cannot claim it twice.

Hence if you have claimed the entire loss as a deduction the amount of insurance you get is income - because essentially, you overdeducted the loss.
