This could have worked. It would have been possible to sell an integration with a major health insurance company or provider network (or a few) as a tool available to their members.
Like as a United Healthcare sponsored portal that helps you pick OTC drugs, or similar. Those guys love stuff like this. And I've actually worked in this space so I'm not just making things up.
With that said, the way to do that would be to make it a destination with a growing userbase and then approach them for partnership. Which would have cost money and taken a while to ramp up, so you'd need some runway. Also it's not a strategy to actually get rich, that wouldn't lead to tens of millions in revenue or valuation probably.
But it was in fact a good idea and there were some paths forward you could have taken. Had you done so there's an excellent chance you would have discovered some interesting and perhaps lucrative product extensions along the way.
