Words that rhyme with Obamacare
Obamacare reads as a stop-by-stop-grocery-shelf word on the page; phonetically it's four-syllable, anchored on the open /ษหr/, ending where it ends on a liquid that pulls the line forward. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. The word arrives in song as a low-register anchor. Anyone hunting rhymes for obamacare ends up at the same crossroads: perfect rhymes are thin on the ground, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the assonance pool runs into the thousands. The slant pool is huge enough that you'll never need to repeat a rhyme.

Why obamacare rhymes the way it does
The phonology of obamacare is a four-syllable core: the broad /ษหr/ (/ษหr/), then it flows into the next line via a liquid. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 39 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 296, assonance 6,948, and consonance 500. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. 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. Obamacare rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
