How to proceed?

The state is PA.

CP receives PA government funded insurance. He receives it free based on income.  CP had a large wage increase, as well as mine, and has just been granted a large child support increase (doubled).

The fact is, due to the doubling of the child support, he is now over the standards of 39K a year income to receive free government insurance by approximately 2-3K a year.  

Obviously, he can be found guilty of fraud if this was turned in. Secondly, when he re-applies, it will be found that he is no longer eligible. I do believe my child support can be raised because other insurance would have to be found and paid for. (He could receive insurance thru his wife's work insurance at a nominal monthly charge.)

1.Turn him in for fraud?
2.Negotiate lowering child support to put him back below the legal income for free insurance?

(And to those that are interested about moving, I did  receive a $55 a month credit even tho I moved out of state, and it costs me $140.00 to travel monthly to visit my kids. I stated that I had moved because Federal poverty standards were $200.00 a month more than what the state of PA was leaving me to live on.)

It's not a fraud unless he has an affirmative duty to notify the athorities of his income. He could lose his job tomorrow and his income would not be over the limit. So, the question is when does he have to notify? Depeding on the answer will tell whether there is a fraud or nothing at all.

Irrelevant, and criminal extortion on your part ("I won't report you if you lower my support obligation.")
