Are health insurance premiums deductible in year paid?

For the first time, I have to pay my retiree health insurance premiums in advance instead of in the month of coverage. I paid for Jan 09 and Feb 09 in Dec 08. I know that medical and dental expenses are deductible in the year paid, but what about insurance premiums. Is that Dec 08 payment deductible in my 08 taxes or my 09 taxes? I can't find a clear answer in Schedule A instructions of Pub 502.
