The fine has to be large enough to compel you to buy the insurance. If it was a token fine, you'd just blow it off.

Compel? Or push you to do something by harming you financially?

Compelling is pushing someone to do something. They don't want uninsured people because when they have accidents or whatever and end up in hospitals it costs everyone else.
