Cobra Coverage - Am I entitled if I was laid off but I was purchasing my own Health Insurance?

The company which I was an employee did not offer me health insurance so I had to purchase my own and now I just got laidoff. Am I entitled to receive Cobra benefits to help pay for my individual insurance?
--------------------
COBRA is 100% paid by you. You are only entitled to it if you were enrolled in your company plan and you leave. You can continue your plan through COBRA but you pay 100% of the employer and employee cost of the premium.
