The real issue, or "new tax" as its being called, is that people who chose to be insured have to pay for the costs of those who do not chose to be insured. The victims (i.e. those who's rights are being infringed upon) are the insured.

If you don't want to be insured, fine, but you can't opt out of having to help out with the costs of the uninsured. Thus, the fine.
If a fine for being uninsured "compels" people to sign up for (public or private) insurance then I don't see that situation as unpleasant nor that consumer a victim.
