Question:
I am a 100% service connected vet. I not getting good care from the VA health care system. Can I get the VA to pay for my Medicare part B insurance?

In a nutshell, no.
First up, if you challenge the VA system and say that they're not providing 'good care' then you'd have to prove that. I have doubts that VA would agree with you and on that point alone they'd prevail.
Nobody will pay the monthly bill for any of your Medicare. Your best option is to work with your VA primary care provider to improve whatever you believe is failing you. Otherwise, do like I do and use your Part B and pay the very small price of the deductible. Yes, it will cost you a few dollars but you may get better care for it. Good luck.
