Words that rhyme with Medicare
Most songwriters treat medicare as a workaday word, but the phonology underneath matters: three-syllable, vowel on the /ษหr/ vowel, ending that flows into the next line via a liquid. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Songwriters reach for it as a common-tongue word. No strict pair turns up at all, family rhymes are simply absent, and the slant pool is enormous on the vowel side. The slant-by-vowel column will carry you a long way past the strict matches.

Why medicare rhymes the way it does
The phonology of medicare is a three-syllable core: the /ษหr/ vowel (/ษหr/), then it trails through a flowing liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 78, assonance 12,181, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Medicare rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
