Yeah I think the first reaction to this was too hot. The government probably doesn't want to seize patents and this is really meant as a warning to get pharma to keep drug prices down more reasonable prices.

That is, generally, how the Federal government prefers to work. They'd rather extract compliance from than execute action against businesses.
