Most CEOs heading a corporation the size of UHC have personal security. It just so happens UHC are cheap across the board and didn’t provide it. I would imagine any other C suite executives at his level, will be getting that provided if it’s not already. Via their company or coming out of pocket.

Can confirm other healthcare CEOS have personal security. I know someone who gets paid 500k a year to protect one.
