>is being disbarred from participating in Medicare/Medicaid. Depending on the disease the drug treats, that can be 50% of your market. And you're disbarred as an entity, not just the individual drug.
So the people on Medicare/Medicaid who may benefit from the drug are punished?

You perfectly highlighted the problem of using this to penalize a company!
How do you punish a misbehaving company without hurting the people using their products?
Interesting, when Pfizer was found to be promoting off-label use of their drug (another no-no), they were disbarred. Well... their Pharmacia-Upjohn subsidiary was disbarred. Luckily that entity doesn't actually have any sales.
