Tax - A compulsory contribution to state revenue, levied by the government on workers' income and business profits, or added to the cost of some goods, services, and transactions.
- Oxford English Dictionary
It was not a tax because it was not compulsory, you could avoid the tax by buying the insurance. Just like a speeding ticket is NOT a tax. They are both penalties used to force compliance of the law.
