The original paper is here: https://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2513561 https://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2513561 I'm kind of wondering if the NYT reporter actually read it. From the article: differences in life expectancy for individuals in the lowest income quartile were significantly correlated with health behaviors such as smoking (r = −0.69, P < .001), but were not significantly correlated with access to medical care, physical environmental factors, income inequality, or labor market conditions. Other factors which had no effect include residential segregation, health insurance, and unemployment. Contrast this with the NYT: "New York is a city with some of the worst income inequality in the country." "We should really be thinking about how do we build up the public health infrastructure."
