Medical expense deduction for California

on the schedule A for my California return it is showing medical insurance premiums coming from the 1095-A. My understanding is, insurance premiums aren't deductible unless you're self employed. How do I remove the premiums without deleting the worksheet as I have other expenses I want to enter?

    Health Insurance is also deductible as a medical expense if you itemize deductions.  If you did not itemize deductions on your federal return, but are itemizing your deductions on California return you will see your health insurance on California Schedule CA.  If you are seeing it on line 17 of your Form 540, then it is transferring from your federal tax return.
