    Yes.  In order to take the deduction your "side gig" will have to have a profit.  Your deduction is limited to smaller of your health insurance or your business' profit.  You cannot deduct your Medicare payments as self-employed health insurance and also as an itemized deduction for medical expenses on Schedule A.
