Re sockpuppetry, I'd say it as unproved rather than false. I have said before (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Socialized_medicine#KBORER_.2FFREEDOMWARRIOR_-) , its not that difficult to run two IDs from two IP addresses even if the IP address points to different geographical locations. The main evidence for my claim came from the way the two editors behave and interact and in particular their edit breaks ... they both seem to take edit breaks from WP at the same time! The period before Christmas and the last two weeks have been more recent examples but the same pattern was observed throughout 2007. 

Re the contested edit. I'm not really bothered about the inclusion or otherwise of this edit. Its about a parallel issue. I did add it back because I know that if I didn't then someone else surely will. Its an interesting observation and in my view a true one. The discussion has decended into one of semantics about wealthy and industrialized that I'd rather not get into. The other editors are doing a good job battling that one out. I just have a gut feeling that the U.S. is in a different league economically from China though I would accept that this is changing fast. It is odd that China, socialist country, does not guarantee health care for all its citizens. It does for many, but not for all. As far as I recall it had more to do with the government being unwilling to pay doctors enough to persuade them to work in the rural areas. They can earn more in the wealthier cities. Urbanisation and industrial might is now the thing that is motoring the Chinese economy so failing to support rural areas may be deliberate government policy. I am not a China watcher so I can't really say.
