Yeah, that's a pretty broad brush. I don't even like to take Aspirin or Ibuprofen unless I have to, and I'm not the only one like that. Also, I've noticed that some of my fellow Generation Y'ers have arrived at similar opinions by observing the issues that come with the over-medication of their parents/grand parents into old age. Doctors love to prescribe stuff, and sometimes the interactions between drugs is so bad that it can be pretty scary. Observing this as a third party can be enough to make you wary about over-using medication. It's also expensive and our health insurance situation over here is awful. tl;dr, Yes, that's a huge generalization. I think a lot of younger Americans are starting to bend back the other way towards only medicating when necessary after seeing how much a can of worms it can be when used as a crutch.
