I would think the simplest way to handle this would be to add an additional condition inside your pre-existing condition (that is not related to Obama Care ) to test if "n2" is 0 (zero) before you attempt to divide by it:
e.g.
If the intention is not to show that you are dividing by zero, but to prevent it doing so altogether, you can amend the existing elif that handles that case to also check that "n2" is not zero. Talking of which, it may be better (simpler) to use a "case" statement instead of "if" - ifs can get a bit clumsy looking, when there's lots of elifs going on.

xmlif - conditional processing instructions for XML
SYNOPSIS
xmlif [attrib=value...]
DESCRIPTION
xmlif filters XML according to conditionalizing markup. This can be useful for formatting one of several versions of an XML document
depending on conditions passed to the command.
Attribute/value pairs from the command line are matched against the attributes associated with certain processing instructions in the
document. The instructions are <?xmlif if?> and its inverse <?xmlif if not?>, <?xmlif elif?> and its inverse <?xmlif elif not?>, <?xmlif
else?>, and <?xmlif fi?>.
Argument/value pairs given on the command line are checked against the value of corresponding attributes in the conditional processing
instructions. An `attribute match' happens if an attribute occurs in both the command-line arguments and the tag, and the values match. An
`attribute mismatch' happens if an attribute occurs in both the command-line arguments and the tag, but the values do not match.
Spans between <?xmlif if?> or <?xmlif elif?> and the next conditional processing instruction at the same nesting level are passed through
unaltered if there is at least one attribute match and no attribute mismatch; spans between <?xmlif if not?> and <?xmlif elif not?> and the
next conditional processing instruction are passed otherwise. Spans between <?xmlif else?> and the next conditional-processing tag are
passed through only if no previous span at the same level has been passed through. <?xmlif if?> and <?xmlif fi?> (and their `not'
variants) change the current nesting level; <?xmlif else?> and <?xmlif elif?> do not.
All these processing instructions will be removed from the output produced. Aside from the conditionalization, all other input is passed
through untouched; in particular, entity references are not resolved.
Value matching is by string equality, except that "|" in an attribute value is interpreted as an alternation character. Thus, saying
foo='red|blue' on the command line enables conditions red and blue. Saying color='black|white' in a tag matches command-line conditions
color='black' and color='white'.
Here is an example:
Always issue this text.
<?xmlif if condition='html'?>
Issue this text if 'condition=html' is given on the command line.
<?xmlif elif condition='pdf|ps'?>
Issue this text if 'condition=pdf' or 'condition=ps'
is given on the command line.
<?xmlif else?>
Otherwise issue this text.
<?xmlif fi?>
Always issue this text.
