The healthcare depends on his insurance, ask him if this covers you even though not married.
and you need to apply for residency now if you want to stay a year. You should have already applied for your residency visa from where you are now. Getting all this together takes a while and so get a move on today if you need a result within 3 weeks, fortunately everything can be fast tracked for more or less double the fee. Some are saying the window is open to apply from within, but it is closing and could be shut by the time you get there.

You can go illegally and just stay but bare in mind if anything happend, or you are checked for whatever reason they now have a deportation system in place for you, I personally doubt they'll use it but it could cost a bit in propinas once a certain PN realises you are illegal and a new income for him. As no one can say how all this will work as it is a new system I'd probably postpone my flight, get the residency visa before you go, then complete it once there and be above board and clear minded. Wandering around the Dominican Republic with equal rights to illegal Haitians would be no fun, there is the chance it could bring nightmares for you.
