UPDATE: Read what HuffPost readers have submitted.

While covering the Health Insurance Reform Now! Let's Get It Done bus tour for HuffPost, Dawn Teo took photos of dozens of letters to Congress that were on display at the Columbus, Ohio stop. The display included thousands of similar letters and took up an entire section of the wall near a memorial display honoring Ted Kennedy. Both before and after the event, attendees gathered along the wall to read these letters while others stood at the Kennedy memorial to pray.

Without health care I wouldn't be able to get care for my children ... if they became very ill or they might have a toothache. [Without health care] ... I'll have to depend on family and friends. And what if they can't help because they're in the same place I am?

DJ Jaffe: Health Care Reform Keeps Mentally Ill Uninsured

The largest and neediest group of uninsured Americans could very well be those with mental illness. If Obama really believes in equal health care for all, he should bring this population into the health reform fold.
