1 and 2 -- mean the same.
3 and 4 -- mean the same.
5 is OK if you ad "your" before "health."
6 is not used.
7 and 7-1 mean about the same thing, but better phrasing would be this:
Some are rich, but others are not.
8 is very awkward.
8-1 is better, but would be best this way: One is happy, but the other is not.
Again, 9 is awkward.
