That was July 2009. In February 2003, McConnell actually went to one of those government-run institutions (where treatment is, apparently, "either delayed or denied") for a procedure of his own.

McConnell may have been able to jump to the front of the line because of his status.

There's a video now circulating on the web that I found interesting, titled:
