ALBANY, N.Y. — James Urtel desperately needs a kidney. His own failed in 2012 — when he was 42 years old, working as a horse trainer — and he went through eight years of dialysis before being matched for a transplant.

At New York Focus, our central mission is to help readers better understand how New York really works. If you think this article succeeded, please consider supporting our mission and making more stories like this one possible. New York is an incongruous state. We’re home to fabulous wealth — if the state were a country, it would have the tenth largest economy in the world — but also the highest rate of wealth inequality. We’re among the most diverse – but also the most segregated.
