If the governor tried to do that it would likely end in an embarrassing standoff where he was blocked in the hospital hallway.

There are strict federal laws about this and hospitals that violate them can lose Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements, meaning they close.

The hospital won't say a word and they won't allow anybody in - and that's assuming McConnell is still in the hospital.
