- it could refer to a business medical plan. on the other hand, if it's medications budgeted on state base, in Israeli context, the literal translation is more appropriate - it reflects Israeli reality
Actually, the corectness of the term depends on your target audience. Both "literal" and English terms are correct, but "medical benifits" is too general
in my QA work with medical documents, there too the translator wrote basket, which was corrected by the translation deptartment because it is too literal.
The context is actually provided in the links posted by Samantha. I realize the problem with the literal translation. There is probably a parallel term in English. I just don't know it !
What is the context of your translation? Audience? Some readers might understand what a drug basket (literal translation) is, some might not and then Lingopro's translation would be better.

Politics, Hi-Tech Products Strain Israel's Drug Basket
April 2006 | Company Finance Alert
Israel's Health Basket - which offers live-saving drugs to many citizens not covered by the country's sick funds - remains controversial
http://www.senat.org.il/senat/docs_e/doc/Senat288engf.doc
Cancellation of the parallel tax that financed 40% of the drug basket effectively increased government participation in the basket's financing from 10% to 45% and contributed to a reduction in the number of drugs included.
.Deciding which new drugs the government needs to add to the list of subsidized medications is one of the administration's most complicated and sensitive tasks
.This is why the committee that determines which drugs make it into the so-called "health basket" includes representatives of the treasury, the Health Ministry, the health maintenance organizations and the public. It is also why the committee's deliberations are defined as transparent and open to the media
The National Health Insurance Law defines a health service basket covering 11 areas of provision (para. 6): (1) preventive medicine and health education, (2) medical diagnostic services, (3) ambulatory medical services especially mental health services, (4) general, psychiatric, chronic–nursing care psycho-geriatric hospitalization, (5) medical rehabilitation, (6) drug provision, (7) medical instrumentation and devices, (8) preventive dental care for children, (9) medical first aid, (10) on-the-job medical care, and (11) medical and psychological care for drug addicts and alcoholics.
The basic health basket was constructed on the foundations of the services provided to members of the Histadrut's General Sick Fund (currently: General Health Services) on 1 January 1994 ("the determining date"). The list of drugs determined was based on the same principle. The law requires the Minister of Health to publish a list of the medications included. In 1995, the health basket was valued at NIS 12.2 billion: it currently stands at NIS 23 billion. "The drug basket" (a term missing from the law) represents about NIS 4 billion of that sum.
