The IRS can garnish your wages without getting a judgement first. That is just a fancy way of saying they can take your money without going to court. You'll have to sue them if you think it's being done incorrectly, right?
Why can't the same be true of Mylan? "Garnish" their profits; and if it was done wrongly, they can sue the relevant Government department.
I'm guessing there are issues of scale of bad behavior involved here, and perhaps wage garnishing is really true only for "egregious" cases. My point is that maybe large lobbying pharma companies making insane profit margins off up-marked drugs ought to an egregious case too.
