"The claimed dependent in 2003 must have less than $3,050 of gross income for the calendar year. This gross income test does not apply if the dependent is a child of the taxpayer and either is under age 19 at the close of the calendar year or is a full-time student under age 24 at the end of the calendar year."
Based on her working full time, I'd say that one fails. Looks like no depdendency claim for you! Not to mention, she's probably claiming an exemption for herself on her return, which a dependant is not allowed to do.
As for the insurance payments for her, since she's not a dependent of you, I'd guess that you can't claim the payments. An itemized deduction is allowed for expenses paid during the tax year for the medical care of the taxpayer, the taxpayer's spouse, or a dependent.
So you probably can't do it. But be thankful, for keeping your fiancee healthy, right?

Thanks gar, yeah I figured I wouldn't be able to claim her but it doesn't hurt to ask. Just gonna have to start a business and make her an employee I guess.
