Did Steve Jobs buy his way into a liver transplant? If so, is this acceptable?

Jobs underwent a liver transplant a couple of months ago and as most us know, a person has to stay on a transplant list for a long time to recieve this organ. In addition, he got his transplant in Tennessee as opposed to Cali implying that he might have been playing the system.

For more info about this and how the transplant system in general, check out this article.

My questions are: Is it acceptable for someone to buy/manipulate the health care system like this? Does it matter if it is someone like Steve Jobs? Would it be okay to save him over an average income man? Would it be ethical to choose to save Barack Obama (just an example) over the same average income man? Where’s the line?
