what exactly does "という" mean in "健康になったという人"?
This という can be interpreted in two ways. The one indicates
同格・内容説明(apposition・explanation of the following word). Another indicates a
short form of と言うことだ(It is said).

So 健康になったという人 means the same as 健康になった人 or "A person who is said to have
become healthy".

There are some usage of という. This link would help you. [The という in things like
〜ということ・〜というの・〜という感じ・〜というわけ
etc](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/12441/the-%e3%81%a8%e3%81%84%e3%81%86-in-
