Will instituting universal health insurance lead to decreased religiosity?

After all, a large reason why people see their pastors about their problems rather than a psychology or other professional is cost and the lingering stigma associated with seeking professional help. If mental health costs come down and everyone has health insurance, perhaps people will go to mental health professionals more, and to religious leaders less. What do you think?
--------------------
I think most psychologists can't get past the conflict of interest of loosing money if they tell people they are ok - I highly distrust the whole profession. Most of them are as bad as the religious leaders people go to.
