There is not one single social contract that we all must subscribe to. It's much more nuanced than that, with lots of little obligations here and there. Some are more valid than others, and the individual should have a right to decide which to be a part of. Not paying taxes is a much different violation of a social contract than not paying for health insurance, especially considering the very legitimate argument that the ACA penalty is unconstitutional in itself.
