“a showing of injury requires proof of concrete financial loss, and not mere injury to a valuable intangible property interest.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“The district court explained that it was the insurance companies and not the patients themselves who suffered financial loss from the allegedly fraudulent health care billings_It is not enough that the patients show that their insurance company had to pay out more than it otherwise would have without the alleged RICO violation. This does not constitute financial loss to them.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“restrictive significance, Reiter v. Sonotone Corp., 442 U.S. 330 , 339, 99 S.Ct. 2326, 2331 . . . (1979), which helps to assure that RICO is not expanded to provide a federal cause of action and treble damages to every tort plaintiff.”
