Recently, with the arrival of 2024, many places have launched new policies on the list of preferential treatment for veterans, providing more abundant and high-quality preferential services for veterans across the country. These new policies have been heavily upgraded in transportation, medical care and other aspects, so that the veterans feel the warmth and care from the country and society.
First of all, in terms of transportation incentives, the new policy in 2024 is a more significant improvement than in 2023. More and more cities have begun to implement preferential policies for free public transportation, such as Yangquan City, Shanxi Province, which clearly stipulates that from January 15, 2024, veterans across the country who hold preferential treatment certificates can take Yangquan public transportation for free. The implementation of this policy will undoubtedly greatly facilitate the daily travel of retired servicemen.
In addition to free public transportation, other forms of public transportation are gradually joining the preferential ranks. Taxis and ride-hailing services are also beginning to participate in the transportation benefits of veterans. For example, Renshou County, Meishan, Sichuan, stipulates that from January 1, 2024, retired servicemen will only be charged the starting price when taking a taxi or online car-hailing within the Renshou City area with a preferential treatment card. Wuhan City, Hubei Province, is cooperating with Fengyun Travel to provide 9% discount services for ex-servicemen on express cars, special cars and luxury cars. These measures will undoubtedly bring more convenience and benefits to the travel of veterans.
In terms of preferential medical treatment, the most striking feature is the increase in the number of designated hospitals for veterans. For example, at the unveiling ceremony of the Seventh People's Hospital of Zhengzhou City, Henan Province's designated medical institutions for veterans clearly proposed to provide high-quality and preferential medical services for veterans. This kind of exclusive medical service not only reflects the respect and care for veterans, but also solves their practical difficulties in the process of seeing a doctor.
In addition, various localities are constantly exploring and improving preferential medical treatment policies for veterans. For example, some places have launched a contract service for retired military family doctors to provide personalized health management services for retired soldiers; In some places, there is a health insurance plan for veterans to protect their health. These measures reflect the great importance and concern of the society for the medical security of veterans.
The continuous upgrading and improvement of the preferential treatment policy for veterans contains profound significance and value behind it. First of all, this is the recognition and reward of the state and society for the selfless dedication and sacrifice of the retired military group. Veterans have made great contributions to defending the country and maintaining social stability, and they deserve the love and respect of the state and society.
Secondly, the implementation of preferential treatment policies is also an important measure to build a harmonious society and enhance social cohesion. By giving more preferential treatment and care to retired servicemen, we can stimulate the patriotic enthusiasm and support of the whole society, and enhance people's sense of identity and belonging to the country and the nation.
Finally, the continuous improvement of preferential treatment policies can also promote the growth and development of veterans themselves. By providing free education and training, employment and entrepreneurship support and other services, it can help veterans better integrate into society and realize their self-worth, and also provide strong support for social economic development and talent reserves.
The continuous upgrading and improvement of the preferential treatment policy for veterans is a long-term process that requires the joint efforts and support of the whole society. We should continue to pay attention to the actual needs and difficulties of veterans, and constantly improve and optimize the content and form of preferential treatment policies to ensure that these policies can be truly implemented and effective. At the same time, we should also strengthen the publicity and promotion of preferential treatment policies, so that more people can understand and participate in this cause. Let us work together to contribute to the happy life of veterans!
