BOCA RATON, Fla. — If Stephen Espalin wanted some “Obamacare,” he went about getting it the wrong way.
Espalin, 57, allegedly told a judge last week that he only threatened to assassinate President Obama, his family and their dog, Bo, because the homeless man needed medical treatment for chest pains but was being kicked out of a Boca Raton hospital for giving a false name and lying about having health insurance, reports the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Espalin previously served 18 months in federal prison for threatening to kill former President George W. Bush in 2001, court records show.
