Part of Prairie Ephemera Collection

A satirical twenty dollar bill for Ralph Bucks from Calgary, Alberin 2000. The writing on the bill states that it is for use in private hospitals and is a “legal tender for increased administration costs, advertising, unnecessary treatments, and profit.” On the front of the bill, there is an unflattering cartoon illustration of Ralph Klein, former premier of Alberta who was in office from December 14, 1992, to December 14, 2006. The bill is meant as a satirical commentary on rising private healthcare costs. On the back of the bill are several phone numbers for key political figures in Alberta whom people are encouraged to call to oppose hiked health care costs. The bill is presumably a response to the Klein government’s decision to cut healthcare spending by 21% between 1994 and 1996 and the increase in the privitization of healthcare systems.
