Holguera says that roughly half of his municipality's services are funded by taxes, licenses and fees on construction; in the booming communities along the Mediterranean coast, that figure can reach as much as 70%. "Our situation depends now on growing, always growing," he says. "I don't see it collapsing all at once; this isn't Latin America or East Asia in the late 1990s.

But at $360 for three shots given over six months, the vaccine, which was developed by Merck, is among the most expensive on the market. The price tag alone probably puts it out of reach for many uninsured women in the U.S. (as well as those whose insurance companies balk at the cost), not to mention millions of poor women in the developing world, where cervical cancer is a leading cause of death. The Gates Foundation announced last week that it will spend $28 million...
