Healthcare for You. But Only if You Can Afford It

Fresh off the press, the mystery behind Steve Jobs' medical leave of absense has been revealed.  According to the WSJ, he recently received a liver transplant. 

My question is, how was Mr. Jobs able to get a transplant so fast? 

It's customary for people needing liver transplants to be VERY ill for a significant period of time before getting a new liver.  Most people have to wait several years. 

I'm no expert in how the que for transplants are handled, but I do know that much of it depends on how ill you are. If Jobs was really so ill so as to be bumped up to the top of the list, how could he have been running Apple? I haven't been following this mystery but it seems like he had not been there for less than two years.

This begs the question...How long did Jobs have to wait?  It doesn't seem like it was too long. 

If one probes into this issue, they just might find that Jobs has donated a lot of money to someone or some organizations connected to the healthcare industry...possibly recently.

Anyway you look at it, I smell something fishy here.

Are there any physicians or other healthcare professionals who know how the process works?  

Anyone care to investigate the details behind this?
