Each month on Last Month In Healthcare, producer Nathaniel joins me to discuss the previous month's podcasts, headlines, and listener-submitted questions.

This month, we’re joined by Chris Hamilton! We talk about the J&J lawsuit being dismissed, Eli Lilly switching PBMs, AI in healthcare, and much more. We also play a Christmas game called Home Alone: The Wet Bandit's Bills, where Chris and I try to guess the average hospital price for the injuries incurred by the bandits from the Home Alone films.
