<prompt> Human: I got a job offer recently to become an assistant wine maker, an entry level position as I havent had more than 3 months of actual job experience in the industry and experiments with home brewing, but with the possibility of advancing to become a vintner after 5 years of training, cellaring, and analytical lab work. They havent specifified how much Ill get for a wage, though the head winemaker stated 13hr would be likely but it includes full coverage insurance. So, as someone who has never actually had to pay for these things Im a veteran who has medical coverage through the VA and prior had all that covered by Uncle Sam, how do I calculate this into my income and how much is it actually worth? And instead of going through the VA medical system lets just say Ill take the private insurance because dealing with the VA system is awful.  <response>: For just yourself its in the ballpark of 500 a month. That varies a lot by plan, location and other factors but thats a decent guideline.
