Taped:  05/04/2006.  Everyone knows that health care costs have gone through the roof. The money that hospitals and nursing homes spend on the bandages, needles, and complex machines to keep us alive and well is enormous -- over $200 billion at last count. Is that money being spent wisely? Who actually keeps track? Can they be trusted? University Distinguished Professor Prakash Sethi helps us answer these and other questions about the hospital purchasing industry.  U$A Inc, currently not running on CUNY TV, offered a unique opportunity for senior members of the business community to share their thoughts on important business issues with a broad-based New York audience. While many business shows today seem focused on generating sound bites and tend to treat business as if it were a blood sport, U$A Inc allows for deeper discussion of the complex philosophical and ethical issues arising almost daily in the business world.  Host: Sarah Bartlett, Bloomberg Chair in Business Journalism at the Master's Program in Business Journalism at Baruch College.  Watch more at www.tv.cuny.edu/series/usainc
