"Care" is a non-countable noun; thus, "a care" is grammatically incorrect.

It's actually both countable and uncountable. As in "I don't have a care in the world". Or "The care in this hospital is good.

I think "could care less" might be irony. Couldn't care less more literal.

It's Kanye's turn now. Wonder what he'll come up with.
