concept
as a reason for the increase in health expenditure - my idea so far is
(the) Public’s increasing expectation that there’s a drug for everything
my admittedly brief look at the web didn't have anything like this, so I'd appreciate others' views

over medication/over medicating / over use of medication
More context would help but based on what you have said it sounds like the idea of societal over medication/ over medication of the (general) population/ over medicating the (general) population. Over use of medication might also be an option.

medicating
This simply refers to the medicating of Society in general- NOT over-medicating. The idea is that Society in general is medicated these days, whether necessary or not. That in itself implies overmedication, yet not int he sense of exceeding recommended dosage, but rather exceeding the actually need for medications. The word is used i in the same concept as the "Americanization" of Society, or the "Germanizing" of the Spanish energy market, etc., etc.,
Example sentence:
The technological advance in mood.-altering drugs and their often seemingly easy solution to difficult problems, has led to the medicating of Society in general.

Nevertheless if pharmaceuticalization is a structural problem, I feel
that we are only making "cosmetic" efforts against it (in other words
we try to correct the industrial deviations, specially in promotion, but
never discuss the industrialization model). I don't have any specific
proposal. But I certainly like a philosophical discussion about this
matter and invite all of you to write.
By the way, this week someone told me that Ilich still lives in
Cuernavaca, Mexico. Can anyone confirm this?
