Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

The “Miracle Mile” is a fancy strip mall on Long Island.

You might’ve heard it in a Billy Joel song (“are you gonna cruise the Miracle Mile?”). He is from Long Island.

Queens is also on Long Island, though officially part of NYC.
